Vodafone, the world’s second largest mobile operator, reported better-than-expected 2.2 per cent revenue growth in its first quarter, reflecting a robust performance in Italy and Spain and an acceleration in demand in Turkey.

“We made a good start to the year with a robust commercial momentum in Europe and accelerating growth in AMAP (Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific),” Chief Executive Vittorio Colao said on Friday.
