The Covid pandemic had delivered a once-a-century blow to the global economy. Many countries, especially developing economies are still coping with its aftereffects. We are also witnessing rising geopolitical tensions in different parts of the world.""We need to collectively work to strengthen multilateral development banks for many global challenges, like climate change," PM Modi said during the meeting.Prime Minister said Indian consumers and producers are optimistic and confident about the future."We hope that you will be able to transmit the same positive spirit to the global economy.

Only by creating an inclusive agenda can win back the confidence of the world," he told the Finance Ministers and Central Bank governors.The PM stressed that the role of technology is increasingly dominant in the world of finance. "However, some recent innovations in digital finance also pose a risk of destabilisation and misuse," Prime Minister noted.During the Covid pandemic, he said digital payments enabled contactless and seamless transactions."Over the past few years, we have created a highly secure, trusted and efficient public digital infrastructure. Our Digital payments ecosystem has radically transformed governance, financial inclusion and ease of living. India's UPI ecosystem can be a template for many other countries. We would be happy to share our experiences with the world. G20 can be a medium for this," PM Modi said.He further said, "During our G20 presidency, we have created a new Fintech platform, which allows our global G20 guests to use India's path-breaking digital payment platform UPI."PM Modi called for a collective effort in strengthening multilateral development banks for global challenges, like climate change and others."I hope that you will explore how the power of tech can be used for good while developing standards to regulate its possible risks. India's own experience can be a model," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
