The pandemic and cash usage
Ketharaman Swaminathan

Ketharaman Swaminathan

  Okay @AmeStuart.  So cash usage is 50.5% in 2000 and 14.6% in 2019. Out of curiousity, I plugged these numbers into the forecasting model I had used in my blog post The Death Of Cash Is At Least 190 Years Away.  https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/7254/the-death-of-cash-is-at-least-190-years-away The zero-cash day is now 55 years away!
