Bhutan, with a population of around 795 thousand people, has a GDP of approximately 3.42 billion making it the 167th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Bhutan is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (INR,BTN)
The economy is driven by the export of hydroelectric power to India and a growing tourism sector based on a "High Value, Low Volume" policy. Its economy is almost entirely integrated with India, which is its main partner for trade, investment, and development aid.
The predominant method for everyday transactions in Bhutan is physical cash, with both the local Ngultrum and the Indian Rupee being widely accepted. To encourage a shift away from cash, the Royal Monetary Authority has promoted B-Ngul, its official mobile wallet. For online payments related to government services and a nascent e-commerce sector, the RMA Payment Gateway is the primary platform.
