<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues, <br><br>My American colleague at Brookings posed the following question. <br><br>
"I've been playing around in digital currencies, and wanted to chat about
M-PESA, and other mobile-based currencies, with a particular eye to how
the governments of East Africa may respond. I'm also curious how
closely tied mobile devices are to personal identities--is is easy to
move funds through safaricom, for example, without having it tied to a
particular person? Do you know anyone who might be willing to have a
quick chat, or answer a few email questions? Any help you can offer
would be great." <br><br>Can anyone assist? <br><br>Yours, Rigia<br></div>
