What the source says
Previous GSMA analysis estimates that closing the mobile usage gap would generate $3.5 trillion in additional GDP between 2023 and 2030, with more than 90% of those benefits flowing to low- and middle-income countries.
Checked: the figure 3.5 trillion USDis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
