Central Banks and Cash Round-Up

In a continuation of our new series in Currency News providing a summary of the latest central bank annual reports to be released, this month is the turn of the Bahamas, Canada, Jamaica, Mauritius, Nepal and the UAE.

Each central bank reports differently – some go into a lot of detail about cash (circulation, management, counterfeiting), others not so much. And some not at all. And there are wide variations too in the reporting of payments more generally, including digital currencies. So comparing like-for-like isn’t possible, but more information can be found in the annual reports available on the central banks’ respective website, from which these summaries have been extracted.

(Whereas the $ is usually used to denote US dollars, in this report the $ refers to the currency of the country).
