As said by him, the summit offers an in depth agenda topics including “Financially connecting the unbanked world; the next steps for go-to-market and the development of the mobile money ecosystem; The path to the next 100 million customers and
Exploring the Revenue potential of the mobile money business.

He, therefore, invited stakeholders to join his team at the next road to global financial mobility.

Emphasizing that the theme of this year, ‘Financially Connecting the World Through Mobile’ serves to remind us that around the globe, mobile banking could bring low-cost financial services to millions of people, especially in developing countries where banking services are not readily available.

“It also has enormous potential to open new markets and business opportunities for organizations that can facilitate and advance it,” he said.

It is in this bid that GSMA Mobile Money Summit 2009 hopes to provide the insights, solutions and connections to make the most of this global phenomenon.
