Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for expansion of a digital payment system. He wants it to be taken to more countries and integrated with existing networks. This is expected to help reduce costs for people sending money back home.
The system is already operational in several countries. It has been linked with a payment system in one country, Singapore.
Further details about the Prime Minister's plans are available, including his comments at a recent fintech event.
