The Mobile Money for the Unbanked team has been keen to find out more about what is happening in Asia outside of the Philippines, or at least what the feeling was towards mobile money across the Asian continent. I have spent the last few days at the GSMA Asia Pacific Conference, which took place in Shanghai, China. This event is run by a committee of operators who set the agenda, invite speakers and host the event. The Conference attracts over 300 attendees with strong operator representation from across the region. For the first time at this event, which has been traditionally focused on roaming and interconnectivity issues, approximately a third of the agenda was dedicated to mobile money. In this post, I describe a few highlights from the event.
