The mobile money industry reached a key milestone in 2019 with more than one billion registered mobile money accounts.

This report accompanies the first update of the GSMA Mobile Money Regulatory Index, a tool developed by the GSMA that provides a quantitative assessment of the regulatory environments in 90 countries.
