During the Covid-19 pandemic, governments in many countries, such as Morocco, used mobile technology to provide financial support and social assistance especially to the poorest populations, said the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“Informal workers in Morocco are also receiving government help through their phones quickly and efficiently,” the international institution said in an analysis on the contribution of mobile payments to the challenge of providing rapid financial support to those who lost their jobs during the health crisis.
According to the IMF, “economic lockdowns, physical distancing measures, patchy social protection systems and, especially for low-income countries, the high level of informality, complicate the task”.
