As of the end of last year, CITIC Telecom International’s total mobile users exceeded 817,000, an increase of approximately 6.0% year-on-year, mainly driven by a 9.3% increase in postpaid customers to about 623,000. 5G mobile users accounted for 100.0% of the group’s total mobile users, up from 98.4% as of December 31, 2024.

CITIC Telecom International stated that it will intensify investments in Macau to maintain its 5G market advantage. Building on the continuation of the Macau Telecom license agreement with the Macau government in 2025, the company will continue to strengthen operations in Macau, deepen communication with the government, actively respond to market opening, and improve service quality and competitiveness.
