India jumped five spots to secure the 58th rank in the Global Competitiveness Index released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in October 2018. The US topped the index. India's rank rose by five places from 2017, the largest gain among G20 economies, the WEF said. On the list of 140 economies, the US is followed by Singapore and Germany at the second and the third positions respectively. India was ranked 58th with a score of 65.0 in the latest Global Competitiveness Report. According to the report, the top performers in the & quot upper and lower-middle-income brackets" such as China and India, are catching up with or even outperforming the average among high-income economies.

"China is already more advanced when it comes to investing in research and development sub-pillar than the average high-income economy, while India is not far behind and let down only by its less-efficient bureaucracy for business creation and insolvency," the report said.

As per the report, India leads the region in all other areas of competitiveness except for health, education, and skills, where Sri Lanka boasts the highest healthy life expectancy (67.8 years) and the workforce with the highest amount of schooling (9.8 years). "These two countries (India and Sri Lanka) are also the ones that can rely on the most efficient infrastructure system. India has invested more heavily on transport infrastructure and services, while Sri Lanka has the most modern utility infrastructure. Other countries in the top 10 include Switzerland (4th), Japan (5th), Netherlands (6th), Hong Kong (7th), United Kingdom (8th), Sweden (9th) and Denmark (10th).

Paytm, run by parent company One 97 Communications Ltd, launched a barcode-based payment service called 'PayPay' in Japan in October 2018. The service has been launched as a joint venture with Japan's Tencent Corporation and Yahoo Japan Corporation. PayPay service by Paytm allows users to store money from a bank account in their “PayPay" wallet and aims to promote the use of cashless payment in Japan, which is heavily dependent on cash for payments. Japan accounts for only 20% of overall cashless transactions in the country.

Yahoo Japan announced after the launch that it will terminate its 'Yahoo Wallet' and will use the newly launched 'PayPay' as its dedicated wallet service. PayPay is built around the QR (quick-response) code technology that Paytm set up in 2015, which currently offers mobile payments to more than 350 million customers and over 9.5 million merchants.

“It is a great strength to introduce Paytm's high technology and solution to PayPay, and I am confident that it will greatly contribute to the expansion of users in Japan," Ichiro Nakayama, President and Representative Director CEO at PayPay Corporation.

“We are happy that the PayPay Corporation is utilizing our QR-technology and prowess to enable cashless payments in Japan. We are sure that this will give substantial growth to their business as they provide personalized and seamless digital payments experience to their customers. PayPay was developed with teams from three different countries working together…" said Madhur Deora, Chief Financial Officer, and Senior Vice President, Paytm.
