Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, has an economic firestorm on his hands following his decision to ban the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. In his monthly address on Sunday, Modi took his ambitions further with a call for a cashless society.

印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪因决定禁止500及1000卢比纸币流通而引起了轩然大波。在其周日的月发布会上莫迪更进一步表明了其野心——致力于打造一个无现金的社会。

According to a translation by Reuters, Modi said, “I want to tell my small merchant brothers and sisters, this is the chance for you to enter the digital world.”

据路透社报道，莫迪曾说：“我想告诉那些小商贩们，这是你们进入数字世界的一次机会。”

The ban has removed 80 percent of the country’s currency from circulation and brought commerce to a virtual standstill. But rather than backing up, it appears that Modi is doubling down. “We can gradually move from a less-cash society to a cashless society,” he told listeners.

该项禁令使得百分之八十的国有货币不再流通，并且导致了贸易虚拟停滞。但是莫迪不仅没有回头的意愿反而变本加厉起来。他这样对听众说道：“我们可以逐渐从一个少量现金流通的社会过度成为一个无现金的社会。”

He admitted that “a 100 percent cashless society is not possible,” right now, but emphasized that he wants to set the wheels in motion.
