India's UPI Aims for Global Expansion

India's digital payment system, called UPI, is growing very fast.

Right now, about 400 million people use it, but the goal is to reach 1 billion users.

UPI is used for half of all global digital payments.

The government is working to make UPI available in more countries, especially in East Asia.

They also talked about how digital payments help small businesses and housewives.

The government has opened many bank accounts for people who didn't have them before, and they are giving loans to small businesses.

They want to make sure that these small businesses can grow bigger.

The government is also working to make digital payments safer and teach people how to use them properly.
