Lockdowns across the world, in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, are expected to reinforce this trend. According to a study carried out in 2019 by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), 60% of banks in the region expect cash to account for less than 5% of total spending within five years. This compares to 48% of banks globally expecting this to be the case.
