Episode 28: What will kill cash? Part II

April 16, 2024

In this second part of our series on cash, cards and digital wallets, we shift our focus to the challenges and opportunities of an entirely digital payments world and look to the innovation happening beyond consumer payments. 


We start with the legacy of India’s controversial 2016 demonetisation program, explore the role of central banks in cutting back cash, and investigate the future of cross border payments, where things are heating up.


Guests:


Monica Jasuja, Ambassador, Emerging Payments Association Asia


Anthony Thomas, Non-executive Chairman, MoMo; MD, Fintech, Delivery Hero


Brad Pragnell, Principal, 34 South 45 North


Richard Holden, Professor of Economics, UNSW Business School
