DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/081e4b/mondato_global_mvt) has
announced the addition of the "Mondato Global MVT Index Overview" report to
their offering.
The Mondato MVT Index is a measure of the readiness of a country for success
with Mobile Value Transfer. Focused on what makes a country's market equipped
for international, inbound transfer, the Index is:
* Global - scoring over 170 countries
* Relevant and Responsive - updated quarterly or more often for this rapidly
changing field
* Oriented towards helping businesses better understand their opportunities and
the barriers they may face in entering a market
* Objective and unbiased
Index Composition
There are many indicators used in the creation of the Mondato MVT Index. Grouped
into factors, they represent the following signs of readiness or potential for
MVT:
* Market size - economics and volume measures
* Money flows - such as FDI and remittance
* Infrastructure
* Stability and safety
Implementing the Index in the Business Context
* Use the Index to understand where a country you are targeting fits in the
context of other countries' scores and to gain a perspective on MVT globally.
There are individual country reports for key countries that are also available
for purchase as a supplement to the Index. These go into depth in explaining the
conditions relevant to MVT in the country, and can be used to assist your
organization plan for addressing the particular circumstances in that country,
including undertaking further research to crystallize an action plan.
An excerpt from the report explaining the index interpretation in more detail:
* As an example, Egypt obtains an Index score of 1.46, with a global rank of 23.
This score reflects Egypt's relatively large population of over 75 million
people and growing, as well as the fact that $101 was received in remittance in
2007 for each person in the country.
* Egypt has a competitive mobile market with 3 main operators, and mobile costs
relative to incomes are fairly low. This also contributes to understanding
potential for MVT, for, where there is still room for growth in mobile
penetration, price as the barrier to that growth is not as significant as in
many other countries.
* Also in Egypt's favour is the above average access to financial services
compared to the rest of the region. Having a more advanced financial services
structure in place can be both positive and negative for MVT, but below a
certain threshold it makes the prospects better for the alternatives to
traditional banking that MVT can provide.
Conditions in Egypt relative to stability and security are far less than ideal
and this works against this country's Index score. In addition, infrastructural
elements conducive to MVT are under par and would need to be dealt with in any
business implementation plan.
