I would like to give you two examples. One is a situation where people are exposed to a natural disaster. With climate change, we will all experience even more extreme weather conditions that can cause severe damage to infrastructure. This can lead to power outages – sometimes not just for a few hours, but for a few days or weeks.
This is where cash has proven in the past to be a means of payment that works even without electricity and therefore has a high resilience in this situation. Cash can also provide quick and direct assistance to those who are affected. Because with cash they are able to help themselves in an autonomous way.
