最新报道:Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited BRICS nations to adopt India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system, which currently operates in UAE, Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal, Singapore, and Sri Lanka with over 40-50% transactions settled online. The move could create an alternative to Western-dominated payment systems, with Stanford Professor Matteo Maggiori noting UPI's appeal as a backup if disconnected from Western systems. China is also developing its own payment system, as both countries aim to reduce US financial influence and offer developing nations autonomy.
