Cash transacted through mobile money platforms in the year to June 30 equalled nearly half the national production, according to latest official statistics.
The payments hit Sh3.574 trillion between July 2016 and June 2017 in about 1.7 billion transactions, Central Bank of Kenya’s latest numbers show.
The value was 15.8 per cent higher than the previous year’s
Sh3.086 trillion.
T
his means the transactions were an equivalent of 48.76 per cent of Kenya’s estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Sh7.33 trillion ($70.53 billion) as of December 2016 going by the World Bank Group data.
Yearly mobile money deals close to half GDP
-------
Thats between July 2016 and June 2017----------- Thats approximately $35B USD or half the GDP,,,,, that also means Kenyas GDP is and has never been cooked, because you cant argue with such a glaring fact, if Kenya's GDP was truly less than $70B it would mean a greater % GDP just exchanges hands through mobile and like you said ""SGR imepitishwa kwenye simu, FDI zote zinapitia kwenye simu, kwahiyo Bank Kenya zingefungwa....blah blah""
if Kenyas mobile money transactions for 2017 were Tanzania, it would have been 70% of GDP!!!!!!
Tena bado hatujaongelea transaction za bank ambapo kenya pia inaongoza kwa % of banked population, last year the number of Bank accounts regardless of people with multiple accounts, overtook the number of mobile money accounts
In Kenya, Bank Accounts Again More Popular than M-PESA – Why?
