There was a Financial Times article that came out last week by Martin Wolf that indicated that we’re at risk of setting ourselves back a decade if we don’t solve for socio-economic disparity today. While his argument focused on the public sector, I think there’s also a crucial role for the private sector to drive economic power for the global majority. And, when we do this in tandem together, we create a rising tide that lifts all boats. I was really encouraged by the conversation I was part of at #MIGlobal that discussed this in-depth, emphasizing the opportunity to leverage next-gen technology to close the growth gap. While Tala has first-hand experience working with policymakers and building the infrastructure to make this possible, it was incredible to hear that sentiment echoed across a panel of capital allocators who also have deep expertise in emerging markets.

Jennifer Loo, our CFO, spoke at The Montgomery Summit, sharing insights on the evolution of global payments: “Many emerging markets have or can leapfrog the US in the sophistication of their payments ecosystem. At Tala, we have seen that even historically cash-based countries like Mexico and the Philippines are rapidly digitizing after COVID; with more transactions happening online, there are more demands for convenient and seamless payment mechanisms. We meet the consumer wherever they are — our platform bridges the digital-cash divide to ensure an inclusive, accessible system.” #montysummit #Monty2024
