 Business Overview
The Kuwait-based Mobile Telecommunications Company (Zain Group) owns and operates mobile and Internet telecommunication networks through its subsidiaries in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Sudan and Morocco.

Zain Group sold Zain Africa BV for KWD3 billion (USD10.7 billion) to India-based Bharti Airtel Limited, in June 2010. The deal was comprised of Zain’s operations in 15 African nations, excluding its Morocco and Sudan interests.

The sale of the Group’s African assets affected simultaneously the number of the group subscribers and its financial results; group subscribers dropped by 48% to 37.2 million, by the close of 2010.

Zain Group’s total annual revenues increased by 7% to KWD1.35 billion (USD4.77 billion) and its net profits grew by 445% to KWD1billion (USD3.75 billion), in 2010.
