Cash is still king in rural areas, where limited digital payment infrastructure ensures its dominance.
In contrast, urban areas have largely transitioned to cashless transactions for convenience and efficiency.
However, even in urban centers, cash remains preferred for small transactions like street food and parking. Local vendors and small businesses often rely on cash due to digital payment infrastructure limitations. Cash coexists with digital payments, serving as a vital means of exchange in various contexts.Its relevance endures in modern commerce, highlighting its importance alongside digital payments.
I think it is a big task for the central government where you live, to improve access for all its people to make it easier for them to interact or communicate or pay (transfer) systems, of course every central government or regional leader will think about this.
I think with developments like today, almost all groups or levels of society now have smartphones, which allows them to adapt to developments in the times, not just seek knowledge and also adapt to applications such as digital payments. I think as time goes by it is very likely that paper money will decrease in the next few decades however, and it is not in the near future to eliminate physical money all going gradually.
