    Solution

    Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has announced a major step to help the country’s economy by introducing India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

To manage the introduction of UPI, President Muizzu has set up a group led by TradeNet Maldives Corporation Limited. This group, or consortium*, will bring together Maldivian banks, telecom companies, state-owned enterprises, and financial technology (fintech) firms to help roll out UPI nationwide.
