Driving a price revolution: Mobile money in international remittances

In August 2016, the GSMA commissioned an independent data collection exercise to assess the impact of mobile money on reducing the cost of remittances. The results show that mobile money is driving a price revolution in international remittances. It is doing this by increasing competition, leveraging existing networks and infrastructure, and capturing smaller remittance values than traditional players. These lower prices are, in turn, contributing directly to efforts to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 10, which sets clear targets for the reduction of migrant remittance costs, particularly target 10.c.
