Supporting social development
Investing in infrastructure, institutions and long-term resilience

Livelihoods and enterprise depend on strong national foundations. We contribute to the infrastructure, fiscal strength and institutional resilience that underpin inclusive development.
In 2025/26, our capital expenditure was $884m, an increase of 31.9% on last year. This strengthens network reach, reliability and capacity. Modern digital infrastructure supports public services, economic diversification and long-term competitiveness across our markets.
Reliable connectivity underpins access to public information and emergency communication. In times of crisis, resilient networks provide critical lifelines. Over time, sustained investment strengthens national digital ecosystems and supports inclusive growth.
We also contributed $2bn through direct and indirect economic contributions, supporting public services and broader economic development across our markets. Responsible fiscal contribution supports governments in delivering healthcare, education and essential infrastructure – extending our impact beyond telecommunications.
We align our governance and reporting practices with recognised international frameworks, reinforcing transparency and accountability. Strong governance builds trust and supports long-term partnerships.
Through sustained infrastructure investment, fiscal contribution and responsible operations, we help build stronger institutions and more resilient societies.
