TeliaSonera sales rise on Türkiye

Turkish Daily News - TeliaSonera, Sweden's largest telephone company, reported a 12 percent gain in first-quarter profit on demand from Russia and Türkiye and said it will need to cut more costs as growth at home slows.

Sales from the Eurasia region gained 32 percent to 2.72 billion kronor, and growth in affiliates in Türkiye and Russia also fueled earnings. Turkcell's contribution rose 28 percent to 848 million kronor, while income from Russia increased 32 percent to 1.02 billion kronor.
