What do you think of the move of banning 500 and 1000 rupee notes in India (Nov 2016)?
I think the government should have provided more time for the public to prepare for the transition, and also taken steps to increase digital literacy and promote cashless transactions before implementing the ban. Moving on, do you think this move has been effective in curbing corruption and black money in India?
There have been mixed opinions on the effectiveness of this move. While it did lead to a significant decrease in cash transactions initially, reports suggest that people have found ways to circumvent the ban and continue to stash black money. Nonetheless, it did serve as a wake-up call to the country to take steps towards a more transparent and modernized economy. Do you agree with this assessment?
