Safaricom's MPesa Transacted $68 Billion... More Than Tanzania GDP

[Jay456watt]

We jamaa unavyopenda kuzungumzia pesa za wanaume wenzako. Ukute unaishi kibera. Pole kwa wazazi wako na serikali ya Kenya kwa kuwa na hili twatwa. Idiot.

povu jingi usituletee sisi wakenya...utakufa mapema😱😱😱

 

[NairobiWalker]

that would be impressive! but the growth rate of 19pct is unrealistic

Economic growth is not GDP growth my fren

Mnafananisha vitu viwili visivyofanana. Volume of Transactions vs Gross Domestic Product. May be it is because hamfahamu maana ya GDP.

Now lets compare the likes.

From Vodacom Tanzania Prospectus to Capital Market, they have reported an average of TZS 2.6 Trillion (equavalent to around in excess $13 Billions annually). The two strongest MFS providers in Tanzania are M PESA and Tigo Pesa. I will also share the statistics of Tigo Pesa transactions.

Tunafahamu vizuri.
GDP is the value of all goods and services produced by a country over a period of 1 year.
The same case hapa tunaangalia value of transactions on Mpesa over a period of 1 year.

Ikitaka pia kuna revenue ya Safaricom, ambayo imegonga $2 billion. Highest in the region.

Hiyo siyo ishu, ishu hapa ni kaisi gani kimekwenda Kenyan Government ili kusaidia Wakenya? Hata kama wakifanya transanctions ya kuzidi UStransanctions economy, lkn Je, kiasi gani kinakwenda kwa Mkenya hilo ndilo ulilopaswa utuletee hapa, usiasahu kwamba Safaricom ni Mzungu Company head quarters London, Uingereza!

Serikali itapata tax on revenue, plus dividend zao being one of the major shareholders. I don't have the exact figure.

Watu mnapiga kelele zisizo na maana, transacted sio total revenue. The way they calculate this is number of transaction send from one service user to another and another..... Kama mtu akituma Shs 1,000 kwa mtu that ina hesabiwa kama one transaction, the same Shs 1,000 aliye pokea anaweza akaituma kwa mtu mwingine, safaricom ana hesabu hiyo kama new transaction and add it to first Shs 1,000 so now the transacted is Shs 2,000 and so on. Kwahiyo ukiangalia in true sense that $68 B ni nusu au robo ya pesa halisi inayo tumika kwenye mzungiko wa safaricom. You can't have over 70 billion economy huku one company transacted 68 billion.

Economic growth is not GDP growth my fren

How can you possibly talk about economic growth of a country without talking about GDP??

Aya wakenya nyie ni superpower country hamtegemei msaada kwenye suala lolote toka kwa nchi yoyote. Nyie mna akili, wajanja na matajiri kuliko nchi yoyote duniani. Are you happy now? Cause huu ujinga wa nchi moja maskini kujitamba kwa Jirani yake ambae na yeye ni maskini kwa sifa za kijinga. Unaanza kuchosha sasa.

 

[Denira]

Hiyo revenue ndio mfananishe na GDP because latest GDP ya Kenya ni $69 Millions......mambo mengine wacheni sifa za mtandao kwa kufananisha kifo na usingizi....

On the contrary, this is a thread about kenya, the person who started the thread was simply informing, but then as always y'all make up anything to dismiss the info, which is really awkward. Safaricom being a public company should publish it's turnover. I agree it might pinch a little with the mention that the transactions amounted more than the Tz GDP but it's just a fact.

...... I have been following the conversation. You're the one who's low on knowledge. When the economy grows at 6% it doesn't necessarily mean the GDP will grow at 6%.

Nimeona kwenye website yao profit ilikuwa 45 billion kenya shilling

What is the GDP growth rate for Tanzania and for Kenya (2016)? what is economy to you? and what is GDP?

 

[Iconoclastes]

Good. Kwa Kuongezea, kwa lugha sahihi ya ulimwengu wa "finance" currency tunasema "convertion" na sio "translation."

You can also "translate" currencies. He made no mistake in his using that term in that context. To translate a currency simply means to convert the currency into another currency, and both terms are used interchangeably in the financial world.

Airtel user hapa. I rarely use Safaricom

The weird thing: Safaricom makes a revenue of $2B a profit of $480Million ,on the other side of life KQ has a debt of $2B

Yaani wao kila habari eti lazima waihusishe Tanzania, sasa nimeona sababu kwanini wanaume wa Kenya wanatandikwa na wake zao! Afu linajitokeza likenya linasema huwezi fananisha kenya na tanzania upuuzi, wakati mada zao kazi kujifananisha na TZ, mambo ya kike tu. Hamuwezi kutoa habari bila kufanya comparison? Imehusu nini kufananisha mpesa na gdp ya tanzania? Fananishe basi na ya UK, au mnajijua kama level zenu ni Tanzania?😀

Ufala ni kutoa habari na kulinganisha na Tanzania. Ni ulimbukeni wa maendeleo ndio unaowasumbua tu. Haya rudi nyumbn ukachezee vibao
