West Africa Drives Global Mobile Money Growth
1 min Read October 20, 2023 at 11:06 PM UTC
Last year marked a continued growth of mobile money worldwide. The 2023 State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money by GSMA finds that global mobile money accounts grew by 13% to 1.6 billion in 2022 from 1.4 billion in 2021, with the total transaction value surging to around $1.26 trillion.
Up to $832 billion of that came from sub-Saharan Africa, a region home to two large markets—Nigeria and Ethiopia—that spearheaded global industry growth thanks to their liberalized regulatory regimes. In addition, West Africa was the world’s fastest-growing region for mobile money adoption.
