Ghana Leads in Mobile Money Regulation Globally
The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) has placed Ghana foremost in mobile money regulation.
In its Mobile Money Regulatory Index (MMRI) 2025, Ghana scored 96.10 per cent, from 95.06 per cent in the previous year.
The MMRI measures the effectiveness of mobile money regulatory frameworks across 90 countries.
Reacting to this in a statement, the Bank of Ghana said the milestone underscores Ghana’s leadership in creating a world-class regulatory environment that enables mobile money services to thrive, drive financial inclusion and foster innovation in the digital financial ecosystem.
“The ranking reflects the country’s commitment to progressive policies and robust oversight in the mobile money ecosystem, ensuring consumer protection and operational integrity, and positions the country as a global benchmark for regulatory excellence in digital financial services,” it noted in a statement.
The country’s central bank has since committed to continuous collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the implementation of policies aimed at sustaining Ghana’s progress toward a fully inclusive and digitally empowered economy.
