July 2021, Issue

Dear Industry professional,

The ongoing importance of cash as a payment method has been highlighted the impending rollout of the digital renminbi throughout China. Hong Kong has shown that despite having a sophisticated digital economy, the demand for cash remains high. Hong Kong has been working with cashless payment options since 1997, and despite this, according to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), physical cash in circulation has continued to rise to this day. Demand for cash as a method of payment particularly for taxi fares, wet markets, tunnel crossings, and restaurants remain incredibly high, and some researchers suggest that the digital renminbi may never take off as a digital payment method in Hong Kong.

A broader point can be made here. Across the world, the demand for cash remains strong. The amount of cash in circulation continues to increase as people recognise the essential features of cash that make it the best payment option. Cash is anonymous cannot be tracked, it does not attract unnecessary fees, and cannot be hacked.
