“Digital transactions will rise dramatically here. In fact, I think in the next several years India will become the most digitized economy. Not just by size but by percentage as well,” Gates added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has got some international support for his decision on demonetization as Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that it is a bold move by the government. According to Gates replacing old currency with new notes with high-security features was an important step to move away from the shadow economy to a more transparent economy.
TOI, Nov 17, 2016: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has hailed the government’s move to demonetize high-value denomination notes saying it will help to move from shadow to a more transparent economy. Speaking at the second lecture series of Niti Aayog on transforming India, Gates spoke on a host of issues ranging from technology to health, education, and sanitation
Technology: I’m a big believer in technology but technology is only as powerful as the people who use it. Technology is only as Mexible as the regulations and systems that enable it and technology is only sustainable if the world we live in is sustainable, too.
What India is trying to do no country has ever done before. India knows it has big challenges to address. It also has a government that is committed to solving them. A large and growing talent pool and many of the building blocks are in place to realize a truly world-class innovation economy. This is an amazing and pivotal moment in India’s history. If India focuses on the right things, it will improve the human condition at a scope and scale never witnessed before.
Financial inclusion and demonetization: The bold move to demonetize high-value denomination notes with higher security features is an important step to move away from a shadow economy to an even more transparent economy. Digital transactions will rise dramatically here. In the next several years India will become the most digitized economy, not just by size but by percentages. A more concerted shift to digital transactions will further enhance transparency and reduce leakage. India has all the pieces in place for a compelling vision for digital Financial inclusion.
Norbert Haering, 01 Jan 2017: A well-kept open secret: Washington is behind India’s brutal experiment of abolishing most cash
In early November, without warning, the Indian government declared the two largest denomination bills invalid, abolishing over 80 percent of circulating cash by value. Amidst all the commotion and outrage this caused, nobody seems to have taken note of the decisive role that Washington played in this. That is surprising, as Washington’s role has been disguised only very superficially.
US-President Barack Obama has declared the strategic partnership with India a priority of his foreign policy. China needs to be reigned in. In the context of this partnership, the US government’s development agency USAID has negotiated cooperation agreements with the Indian Ministry of Finance. One of these has the declared goal to push back the use of cash in favor of digital payments in India and globally.
On November 8, Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi announced that the two largest denominations of banknotes could not be used for payments anymore with almost immediate effect.
The Better Than Cash Alliance
The Better Than Cash Alliance, which includes USAID as a member, is mentioned first for a reason. It was founded in 2012 to push back cash on a global scale. The secretariat is housed at the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) in New York, which might have its reason in the fact that this rather poor small UN organization was glad to have the Gates Foundation in one of the two preceding years and the MasterCard Foundation in the other as its most generous donors.
The members of the Alliance are large US-Institutions which would benefit most from pushing back cash, i.e. credit card companies MasterCard and Visa, and also some US institutions whose names come up a lot in books on the history of the United States intelligence services, namely Ford Foundation and USAID. A prominent member is also the Gates Foundation.
The partnership to prepare the temporary banning of most cash in India coincides roughly with the tenure of Raghuram Rajan at the helm of Reserve Bank of India from September 2013 to September 2016. Rajan (53) had been, and is now again, economics professor at the University of Chicago. From 2003 to 2006 he had been Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington.
Raghuram Rajan has ample reason to expect to climb further to the highest rungs in international finance and thus had good reason to play Washington’s game well. He already was a President of the American Finance Association and inaugural recipient of its Fisher-Black-Prize in financial research.
He won the handsomely endowed prizes of Infosys for economic research and of Deutsche Bank for financial economics as well as the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Prize for best economics book. He was declared Indian of the year by NASSCOM and Central Banker of the year by Euromoney and by The Banker. He is considered a possible successor of Christine Lagard at the helm of the IMF, but can certainly also expect to be considered for other top jobs in international finance.

More evidence of early US involvement in Indian demonetization
- In September 2016, McKinsey Global Institute issued a report titled “How digital finance could boost growth in emerging economies”. Authors acknowledged “collaboration with the Financial Services for the Poor team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation”. They thanked more than ten Gates Foundation (BTCA) people for contribution to the report, including Gates Foundation’s India head Nachiket Mor of Rajan’s Mor-Committee. In mid-December, seemingly unfazed by ample evidence that taking away cash in India has been the exact opposite of helping the poor and promoting “financial inclusion”, McKinsey-partner Susan Lund and study contributor Laura Tyson published “The Promise of digital finance”, making fantastic claims about the advantages of pushing back cash-use in favor of digital, including ten percent higher GDP for countries like India. They disseminated this piece on the website of Project Syndicate, which is payed for by US hedge fund billionaire George Soros. It also went to dozens of newspapers worldwide via Project Syndicat. Co-author Tyson also has relations to Soros via the World Economic Forum.
- Catalyst is housed at IFMR, the institute mentioned above, of which Gates Foundation India’s-CEO Mor is a board member, and which relies very much on funding from various members of the Better Than Cash Alliance.
