Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurates Global Fintech Fest 2026 in Mumbai

“Bowing down to Ganpati Bappa, I wish you all the best for the Global Fintech Fest 2026,” affirmed Shri Modi.

Acknowledging the complex global environment marked by conflicts, trade tensions, and severe pressure on the supply chains of energy and commodities, the Prime Minister contrasted international economic uncertainty with India's robust 7.8 percent growth during the challenging April to June quarter.

Reflecting on the tenth anniversary of UPI celebrated on August 25, the Prime Minister contrasted early skepticism from financial elites with the current reality where millions of previously unbanked citizens now drive the digital economy.

Presenting staggering operational data, the Prime Minister revealed that over 24 billion UPI transactions occurred in August alone, meaning roughly 50 lakh transactions were processed in just the first ten minutes of the event.

Demonstrating the tangible impact of inclusive finance, the Prime Minister cited the PM SVANidhi scheme, which successfully integrated millions of street vendors, whom he called the backbone of the cities, into the formal credit system, boosting their average annual income by over 20 percent.
