Cash to Code: India’s Digital Rupee
India is making a transformative leap with the Digital Rupee, a digital version of traditional fiat currency, managed and regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. RBI has already conducted pilot runs across 15 cities, involving 9 major banks and over 1.6 million users. Designed for both retail (CBDC R) and wholesale (CBDC W) applications, the digital rupee can facilitate seamless person to person (P2P) and person to merchant (P2M) transactions.
But can it truly redefine India’s financial landscape? How does it compare to UPI, plastic money, or cash? What are its implications for financial inclusion, cross border trade, and cybersecurity? And what lessons can India draw from global pioneers like China’s eCNY or the Eurozone’s digital euro?
Check out this article by Ajay Sharma as he delves deep into the opportunities, challenges, and strategic pathways shaping the future of India’s digital currency.
South Korea’s Demographic Challenge: A Declining Nation
South Korea is grappling with a demographic crisis that could reshape its future in unprecedented ways. With one of the world’s lowest fertility rates and an aging population, the nation faces challenges that threaten its economic growth, workforce sustainability, and social security systems. By 2025, South Korea will be classified as a “super-aged society,” with over 20% of its population above 65 years old, a figure expected to rise to 40% by 2050. As these shifts unfold, they highlight the urgent need for systemic change. Moreover, as other developed nations edge closer to similar scenarios, the lessons from South Korea’s response are becoming increasingly relevant for the global stage.
