Beled Hawo (Somali: Beledxaawo or Buuloxaawo) is a business town in Gedo, Somalia. Beledxaawo is a border town and business gateway to Kenya and Ethiopia. The town is also the business headquarters of Gedo Region.[citation needed]

Physical cash was reportedly "virtually obsolete" in the town by July 2025, creating a reliance on mobile money services.
