A Bank for International Settlements survey shows that, compared to last yr, world economies seems more likely to issue Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in medium term than short term.
RBI piloted Central Bank Digital Currency, or e-rupee, last November and now hopes to ramp up its use through UPI. But experts say lack of awareness and adoption are obstacles.
Could the eRupee piggyback as a key piece of the larger 'digital stack'? RBI's concept note gives a direction, but there are concerns that must be addressed.
With the rising rate of cryptocurrency adoption worldwide, many countries like India have started to test the waters of digital currency by launching their own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). But how does it work?
Nobody is safe in a market where competition is stunted and choice limited. For the industry, meaningful reform will have to start with the government itself.
Data shows re-alignment in India’s exports, with Tamil Nadu & Telangana posting strong growth in 2024-25 as traditional heavyweights Gujarat & Maharashtra see declines. Gujarat still leads, though.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
