A soon-to- be-published survey on cash use, carried out on behalf of the ECB, shows that over three-quarters of all payments at points-of-sale in the euro area are made in cash. In terms of transaction values, that's slightly more than half. So even in this digital age, cash remains essential in our Economy."

The estimate is based on comprehensive research by the European Central Bank and the National Central Banks of the euro area and exceeds previous estimates.

El gobierno alemán justifica la existencia del dinero en efectivo

ALEMANIA, 06/04/2017

Los bancos centrales, según el informe, no ahorrarían costos con la abolición del efectivo. "La emisión de dinero en efectivo, con excepción de la moneda de un céntimo, le reporta beneficios al BCE", dijo Hellwig.

El aumento del uso de las posibilidades de pagos electrónicos, según el informe, se debe dejar en manos de los actores del mercado y una intervención sólo se justificaría si hubiera distorsiones graves, mientras que abolir el efectivo para luchar contra la economía sumergida es "desproporcionado", apuntan los
