Maroc Telecom

What Maroc Telecom does

Maroc Telecom (legal name: Itissalat Al-Maghrib S.A., ticker: MT on the Casablanca Stock Exchange) is Morocco's largest telecommunications operator, serving an installed base of 58.75M mobile subscriptions and 1.4M fixed fiber connections domestically and capturing an estimated 45% Moroccan mobile market share, ahead of Orange (35%) and Inwi (20%). The group is majority-owned by UAE-based e& (53% controlling stake acquired in 2014) and operates with state-owned heritage alongside partial Moroccan government ownership; consolidated 2025 revenue reached MAD 36.7B (~$4.0B). Its technology stack spans 3G/4G LTE/5G mobile, FTTH, FTTR, ADSL, satellite, fixed wireless (Box 4G+/5G), VoLTE, and 23 in-country data center facilities (2 GW), with 5G commercially launched on November 7, 2025 (38% population coverage, 9,000+ radio sites, 2.63M 5G users by year-end).

The business model is subscription-recurring across consumer (Jawal prepaid/postpaid, iNJOY digital-only plans, fiber plans MAD 400–500), professional (Forfaits Pro MAD 119–429), and enterprise (Forfaits Entreprises, Ethernet, VPN IP, MT Cloud marketplace, Hébergement Data Center, Sécurité DDoS, MDM) tiers, augmented by transaction-based revenue from MT Cash / Moov Money mobile money, hardware sales (Samsung/Apple/Xiaomi smartphones, routers), and bundled entertainment partnerships (TOD by beIN, MBC Shahid, Anghami, Gameloft). Go-to-market is omnichannel: owned retail storefronts across Morocco, e-commerce via iam.ma, self-care apps (Mon Espace MT, iNJOY, MT Cash), enterprise field sales, and channel/wholesale infrastructure including the FiberCo and TowerCo JVs formed with Inwi (announced April 2025, MAD 4.4B initial investment). Moov Africa extends the model into Chad, Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire — the segment grew 5.3% YoY to MAD 19.15B in 2025, offsetting flat domestic performance, while 4G expansion in Chad and Mali is funded by a EUR 370M IFC loan executed in June 2025.
