- Presentation Title: Cash in crisis? It’s the daily use!
- Presentation 2-Line Description: This presentation explores a striking and often overlooked paradox: cash remains highly trusted and widely valued, yet it is used less and less in everyday transactions. It examines the growing gap between people’s emotional attachment to cash and its actual use in daily life. Closing this gap requires more than ensuring access. It calls for a shift in perspective, reframing cash not as a nostalgic relic, but as a modern, trusted and essential payment tool, designed to coexist with digital innovation rather than compete with it.
