Cash & Payment News

Cash & Payment News™ is our sister publication and, in its coverage and analysis of how cash is used and the wider payments eco-system, is a perfect complement to the issues covered by Currency News™.

Some of the topics in the June issue of CPN include:

Cash – we summarise a new paper from the Banca d’Italia about how to forecast cash demand. The Bank of England has just held a ‘Festival of Errors’ to learn from forecasting errors. This and the Cash Essentials response to the recent IMF forecasting paper means forecasting is well reported this month.

For countries faced with less cash, hard decisions have to be made about cash infrastructure. Paul Blond has summarised the recent Australian decision about whether to allow the merger of two major cash in transit companies, leaving the country with only one major provider.
