Ethiopia's fintech ecosystem is a mix of challenges and opportunities. 📈🌍
From low formal banking penetration to an increasingly digital population, it’s clear that innovation in financial services is critical.
Key insights from my research today:
1️⃣ Low banking penetration but high mobile adoption: Over 75% of transactions are cash-based, yet mobile payment systems like Telebirr are gaining traction.
2️⃣ Regulatory frameworks: Ethiopia’s regulatory approach emphasizes financial inclusion but poses innovation challenges, especially for BNPL services.
3️⃣ Unique consumer behaviors: Ethiopians' dominance of informal financial systems and cash reliance shape their engagement with digital financial services.
💡 Question of the day: How can fintech drive financial literacy in Ethiopia to accelerate digital adoption?

During the operations, Sebi officials seized various records and documents, including 34 mobile phones, six laptops, four desktops, four tablets, two hard drive disks and one pen drive from the custody of these persons. Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
