Bill Gates said demonetisation will help the country to move from shadow economy to a more transparent economy
New Delhi, Nov 17: Microsoft founder Bill Gates has hailed the government's move to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes stating that this move will help the country to move from shadow economy to a more transparent economy.
Gates, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, gave a lecture at Niti Aayog's Transforming India event and said that it was a 'bold move' by the government to demonetise high value denomination in a bid to fight the black money menace.

The Microsoft founder went on to praise government's initiatives like Digital India and Swachh Bharat stating that India was trying to do what had never been done before.
