BRICS Summit to Focus on Cross-Border Payments Amid Growing Indian Fintech Market
The upcoming 18th BRICS summit in New Delhi aims to enhance cross-border payment mechanisms among member countries, including linking digital payment systems and central bank digital currencies. Ahead of the summit, officials discussed financial cooperation and trade settlement in national currencies. Meanwhile, India's fintech sector, including companies like Skydo, is growing in cross-border payments but still competes primarily with traditional banks, which dominate the market. Fintechs currently hold a small market share but may drive future competition and innovation.
