Mobile Money Surpasses Two Billion Registered Accounts and Over Half a Billion Monthly Active Users Globally

New GSMA report highlights 16% growth in mobile money transaction values, reaching $1.68 trillion

LONDON, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile money reached two significant milestones in 2024, surpassing two billion registered accounts and over half a billion active monthly users worldwide. The industry, which took 18 years to achieve one billion registered accounts and 250 million active users, has doubled in size in just five years, according to the GSMA Mobile Money Programme’s ‘State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2025.’

In 2024, mobile money processed around 108 billion transactions, totalling over $1.68 trillion. Transaction volumes grew by 20%, while transaction values increased by 16%, reflecting the industry’s robust expansion.

Vivek Badrinath, GSMA Director General comments: “Mobile money has emerged as a powerful driver of financial inclusion and economic growth. Its continued success depends on supportive regulatory environments that promote innovation, accessibility and help unlock the full socio-economic potential. To ensure mobile money remains accessible, affordable, and safe, it is vital for governments and regulators to work with financial service providers to support financial literacy programs, empowering underserved populations and opening new opportunities for financial decision-making.” 

Mobile money has become a key driver of economic development. By 2023, countries with mobile money services saw a $720 billion boost to their GDP, reflecting a 1.7% increase. In Sub-Saharan Africa, mobile money added approximately $190 billion to GDP in 2023.

Sub-Saharan Africa remains the global leader in mobile money, with new accounts rising in East and West Africa. East Africa led growth in active accounts in 2024, followed by Southeast Asia and West Africa. East Asia-Pacific also showed strong growth, particularly in Cambodia, Fiji, the Philippines, and Vietnam, where enabling regulations fostered success.

Many providers in East Asia-Pacific have evolved into full-service financial platforms, offering products like credit, savings, and insurance. By June 2024, 44% of providers offered credit services, making it the most common adjacent financial product.

Despite the growth, several barriers remain, notably among women. Eight of the 12 countries surveyed still showed disparities in mobile money ownership between men and women, with limited awareness and digital financial literacy as significant barriers. Mobile money providers are addressing these issues, with nearly 60% launching digital literacy initiatives to drive adoption and close the gender gap.

  • Business expected to generate revenue of US$225US$250 million in calendar year 2025 with a gross margin of around 60%
  • All-cash transaction to be financed from existing liquidity and additional debt

NEUBIBERG, Germany, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX) (OTCQX: IFNNY) is accelerating the build-up of its system capabilities for software-defined vehicles with the acquisition of Marvell Technology’s Automotive Ethernet business, complementing and expanding its own market-leading microcontroller business. Infineon and Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) have entered into a definitive transaction agreement for a purchase price of US$2.5 billion in cash. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. Ethernet is a key enabling technology for low-latency, high-bandwidth communication, which is crucial for software-defined vehicles. Additionally, it has significant potential in adjacent fields of use such as humanoid robots. The planned investment will strengthen Infineon’s already strong footprint in the U.S., including extensive R&D activities.

“The acquisition is a great strategic fit for Infineon as the global number one provider of semiconductor solutions to the automotive industry,” says Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. “We will leverage this highly complementary Ethernet technology by combining it with our existing, broad product portfolio to provide our customers with even more comprehensive, leading solutions for software-defined vehicles. The transaction will support our profitable growth strategy going forward, including new opportunities in the field of physical AI such as humanoid robots.”

Marvell’s leading Brightlane™ Automotive Ethernet portfolio of PHY transceivers, switches and bridges supports network data rates ranging from today’s 100 Mbps (megabits per second) up to market-leading 10 Gbps (gigabits per second). It also supports the security and safety features required for today’s and tomorrow’s in-vehicle networks.

Among the customers of Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet business are more than 50 automotive manufacturers, including eight of the ten leading OEMs. The strong customer relationships are backed by a design-win pipeline of around US$4 billion until 2030 and a strong innovation roadmap, paving the way for future revenue growth. The business is expected to generate revenue of US$225US$250 million in the 2025 calendar year with a gross margin of around 60%, based on the strong potential for further acceleration through Infineon’s unmatched access to global automotive customers. Additional cost synergies are expected from combining R&D forces and leveraging Infineon production reach. Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet business has several hundred highly skilled and dedicated employees, with main offices in the U.S., Germany and Asia. After the transaction closes, Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet business will become part of Infineon’s Automotive division.

Ethernet connectivity solutions are vital to software-defined vehicles and are the basis for highly efficient E/E-architectures comprising central compute, zones and endpoints. Sophisticated features such as advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous driving, and over-the-air software updates require massive amounts of secure data processing, networking and storage. The combination with the Infineon AURIX™ microcontroller family creates a comprehensive product offering combining communications solutions as well as real-time control. The acquisition is intended to further strengthen Infineon’s number one position in microcontrollers.

Infineon will use existing liquidity and will incur additional debt in order to fund the planned acquisition of Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet business in an all-cash transaction. Infineon has secured acquisition financing from banks. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close within calendar year 2025.

Infineon will host a telephone conference call including a webcast for analysts and investors, scheduled for Tuesday, 8th April at 8:30 am (CEST). During the call, Infineon management will comment on the strategic rationale and financial aspects of the transaction and answer related questions.

LONDON, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The US continues to dominate, with 11 cities on the Top 50 Cities for Millionaires list in the latest World’s Wealthiest Cities Report 2025 ranking, led by New York in 1st place with 384,500 high-net-worth individuals (including 818 resident centi-millionaires and 66 billionaires). According to the 4th edition of the annual report published by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth, the Bay Area (San Francisco and Silicon Valley), in 2nd place with 342,400 resident millionaires, is now home to more billionaires (82) than the Big Apple and continues to thrive as the epicenter of technological wealth creation, enjoying exceptional millionaire growth of 98% over the past decade.

Of the Top 50 cities, only Shenzhen (in 28th place, with 142% millionaire growth, and now home to 50,800 millionaires), Hangzhou (35th, with 108% growth and 32,200 millionaires), and Dubai (18th with 102%) grew faster than the Bay Area between 2014 and 2024. Dubai (now boasting 81,200 resident millionaires) also takes the prize for the biggest climber in the Top 50 over the past year, moving from 21st to 18th place. Seoul is the biggest faller, dropping to 24th place from 19th last year.

Tokyo solidifies its position in 3rd place with 292,300 millionaires, followed by Singapore in 4th place with 242,400 resident millionaires.

London and Moscow are the biggest losers

Los Angeles (220,600 millionaires, including 516 centis and 45 billionaires) has now overtaken London to claim the 5th spot, pushing the UK capital out of the Top 5 to 6th place with just 215,700 millionaires (including 352 centi-millionaires and 33 billionaires). London and Moscow (which ranks 40th, with 30,000 millionaires, including 178 centis and 23 billionaires) are the only two cities in the Top 50 that have recorded negative growth over the past decade, with their millionaire populations declining by -12% and -25%, respectively.

Paris (160,100 millionaires) clings onto 7th place, while Hong Kong (154,900 millionaires), now in 8th position, usurps Sydney (152,900 millionaires), pushing it down into 9th place. Chicago (127,100) leapfrogs over both Beijing (which drops two places from 10th to 12th, now with 114,300 millionaires) and Shanghai (down three places from 11th to 14th with 110,500 millionaires) to claim a place in the Top 10 for the first time. Lisbon (50th with 22,200 millionaires) makes its debut on the Top 50 list, with Auckland dropping off.  

Fastest growing wealth hubs over the past decade

Besides Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Dubai, other cities on the World’s Fastest Growing Wealth Hubs list which have more than doubled their resident millionaire populations over the past 10 years, include US cities Scottsdale (125% growth) and West Palm Beach (+112%) and the “Silicon Valley of India“, Bengaluru (+120%). Three other American cities — Miami (+94%) whose residents enjoy Florida’s low state taxes, the US capital Washington DC (+92%), and Austin (+90%), dubbed “Silicon Hills” — have also seen notably high growth between 2014 and 2024, as have Polish capital Warsaw (+83% in resident millionaires), Emirati capital Abu Dhabi (+80%), and Riyadh (+65%), the capital city of Saudi Arabia.

Centi city hotspots over the next decade

Looking beyond the established wealth centers, the report also benchmarks wealth in over 100 Centi-Millionaire Hotspots worldwide, with a special spotlight on cities with high growth potential over the next decade (2025 to 2035) to reveal the emerging new geography of super-wealth.

Dubai (currently home to 237 centis) and Abu Dhabi (75 resident centis) lead the pack, with both Emirati cities projected to see their centi-millionaire populations more than double over the next 10 years. Explosive 100%+ growth is also forecast for Delhi (125 centi-millionaires) and Bengaluru (43) in India, and Warsaw (32 centis) and Athens (42 centis) in Europe

Smaller cities providing targeted investment migration pathways, including St. Julian’s and Sliema in Malta (40 centis), Lugano in Switzerland (40 centis), and Latvia’s Riga & Jūrmala (11 centis), are all forecast to see 100%+ growth rates in their centi-millionaire populations by 2035. And while no African or Central American cities make it into the Top 50, George Town and Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands (currently home to 40 centis), San José & Santa Ana (17 centis) in Costa Rica, St. George’s Parish (25 centis) and Hamilton Parish (22 centis) in Bermuda, Monterrey (10) in Mexico, Panama City (21 centis), South Africa’s Cape Town (34 centis), Morocco’s Marrakesh (14 centis), and Kenya’s Nairobi (10 centis) are all forecast to see +100% growth in their super-wealthy communities before 2035.

Colt DCS boosts German expansion by 117MW, acquiring land and securing power supply contracts for new sites in Frankfurt and Berlin

LONDON, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Colt Data Centre Services (Colt DCS), a leading global provider of hyperscale and large enterprise data centre solutions, has announced plans to develop four new data centres in Germany.

 

 

The four facilities will consist of Frankfurt 4 & 5 and Berlin 1 & 2. The two Frankfurt data centres will be built on an 18-acre site and provide a combined 63MW, while the Berlin data centres will be constructed on a 9.5-acre site and provide a total 54MW of IT capacity. Colt DCS is targeting first phase RFS (ready for service) at Frankfurt 4 and Berlin 1 by the end of 2028, with renewable power contracts already secured. The new data centres will add 117MW to Colt DCS’ capacity in Germany, bringing its total in-country capacity to 176MW.

The acquisitions in Frankfurt and Berlin, reinforce Colt DCS’ commitment to digital infrastructure in Germany, and represents a €2 billion investment in its economy.

The move strengthens Colt DCS’ position in the Frankfurt market, which continues to be one of Europe’s leading data centre hubs. Berlin has emerged as a secondary market, driven by Germany’s digital transformation and increasing demand for cloud and AI services. 

The new facilities will be designed to Colt DCS’ Global Reference Design (GRD) which can cater for both traditional cloud and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, powering racks up to 130kW. To accommodate this, the design flexibly supports cooling by traditional air, direct liquid-to-chip and hybrid approaches.

Each data centre will also be constructed in line with Environmental and Sustainability policies using several low embodied carbon principles. This includes the installation of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) cooling chillers, reducing water waste for cooling, and building the structure with minimal steel and concrete usage. 

Waste heat from all sites will be reused by the local councils for district heating. A fifth of the site areas will be reserved as green space, and the building roofs will feature a mixture of photovoltaic solar panels and planted vegetation.

Gert-Uwe Mende, Lord Mayor of Wiesbaden, said: “Wiesbaden is an attractive business location, and artificial intelligence is an absolutely future-oriented topic. I am therefore very pleased that Colt DCS has chosen the Landeshauptstadt (capital of the state of Hessen) as the site for its new data centre”.

Niclas Sanfridsson, CEO of Colt DCS, said: “The continued growth in digital services has created strong demand for hyperscale data centres in Germany. Our acquisitions in Frankfurt and Berlin are a testament to our commitment to Europe’s largest economy. We are proud to contribute to the growth of the local community and remain a trusted partner for our customers worldwide. These new sites will not only enhance our capacity to serve the increasing needs of cloud and AI workloads but also reinforce our dedication to sustainability and innovation in the data centre industry.”

About Colt DCS

We design, build and operate data centres for global hyperscalers and large enterprises.   

Our global portfolio includes 13 operational data centres, with an additional 9 in development across 11 cities in the UK, Europe, and the APAC region.

We enable our customers to effectively plan for the growth of their business while also providing them with peace of mind. We provide secure, resilient, well-connected infrastructure with planned future capacity growth potential. We have over 25 years of experience in the data centre industry, delivering on our vision of being the most trusted and customer-centric data centre operator in the market.

We put the environment at the heart of everything we do by recognising this as a fundamental responsibility towards our planet. That’s why we’re taking ownership to reduce our environmental impact globally and make sustainability a key strategic driver. As part of our sustainability planning, Colt DCS has set comprehensive near-and long-term Science Based Targets to cut our emissions in line with the SBTi’s latest Net Zero Standard.
