Teething IT issues prevented Celcom 25,000 from launching new plans in 2014 and this affected dealers’ confidence. These issues were finally resolved by 2Q15 after some 20,000 delays, but the damage was already done. This was reflected in the decline in subscriber base FY14-17. To regain momentum, Celcom 15,000 was more aggressive in the market in 1H15 and initially showed 10,000 some positive results. However, rivals responded with aggressive pricing, leading to a net churn in Celcom subscribers as well as 5,000 decline in average revenue per user (ARPU) by end-2016.

  • XL Axiata Green-Lighted for Merger Plan with Axis
    XL Axiata Green-Lighted For Merger Plan With Axis Indonesia’s antimonopoly commission has approved a planned merger by XL Axiata and Axis Telekom Indonesia, the latest of such approvals after other regulators made gave their go-ahead. “XL Axiata has secured approval from KPPU on March 6,” Murni Nurdini, XL’s corporate secretary said, referring to the antimonopoly commission by its Indonesian name in a statement on Monday. The KPPU has reason to be wary of monopolies in the industry, after finding six telecommunications companies guilty of collusion to fix SMS prices in 2008, dishing out fines worth $10 million. The approval should help boost confidence among XL Axiata’s management that the merger may be concluded by the end of this month. The approval is the latest after it obtained approval from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in February last month. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has also okayed the merger plan. The OJK supervises listed companies, including XL Axiata. Shareholders have also given their nod to the plan. “We are grateful for the KPPU’s support to the merger and acquisition plan. It is a crucial milestone for consolidation of the national telecommunications industry,” said Hasnul Suhaimi, president director of XL Axiata. “By obtaining the approval from KPPU, we have complied with all the regulatory requirements in the conditional sale and purchase agreement. An XL – AXIS merger will provide substantial benefits for customers, as well as creating a healthier ecosystem in the telecommunications industry,” Hasnul said. He said the merger will not trigger any monopolistic practices.

During the second half of the year, however, the global economy lost some momentum, mainly on account of the increased trade frictions between the US and China, and the tightening of financial conditions. International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects growth to decelerate to 3.3% in 2019 and its projections suggest that all three major engines of the global economy, viz. US, China and Euro area are likely to decelerate in 2019. On the positive side, however, IMF expects world economic output to recover and grow at 3.6% in 2020. Of late, there have been a few growth-supportive factors such as the announcement of economic stimulus in China and halt to the process of monetary policy tightening in developed countries. But the business sentiment has become somewhat clouded with challenges arising from the apparent setback to the US-China trade talks, the spread Macroeconomic of trade frictions to technology sectors and the increased stability indicators intermingling of economic policies.

  • Annual Report 2019-20 1 Board of Directors
    The Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholder, Covid-19 and the associated lockdowns across countries have triggered a once-in-a-century crisis for the society and the economy in 2020. January now seems like a month of a bygone era — such has been the enormity of change. This is a defining period in human and business history: one that will test the resilience of individuals, societies, corporations, and nations. Given the fog of uncertainty all around, it is hard to be prescient in these times. But there is little doubt on one reality: companies with quality leadership, sound business fundamentals, and a track record of winning in turbulent times, will emerge as champions in the new global order. Global Economy It has been several months since the pandemic engulfed the world and yet there is a lot of uncertainty with respect to the extent of the economic contraction due to this crisis, and the subsequent pace of recovery. This year will see an economic contraction, but this 2020 recession is turning out very different from the past recessions. It has been too sudden – almost off the cliff; its spread has been all-encompassing – affecting almost every economy and sector, and the plunge in economic activity levels and employment has been unprecedented. On the positive side, this recession is likely to be one of the shortest, assuming no second wave of the pandemic recurs. As present lockdowns around As the world emerges the world get lifted, and businesses reopen, economic activity from the current is likely to bounce back fairly quickly.
