What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Airtel Money, the mobile payments arm of Airtel Africa, filed for an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange through an offer for sale route. This offering involves existing shareholders selling shares, with no new capital being raised by the company. The company is seeking to raise approximately $800 million, which would give it a market capitalization between $8 billion and $9 billion.

The London Stock Exchange permits international businesses to trade there, and Airtel Africa maintains a structural listing presence on the exchange.
