https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/11/staff-discussion-paper-2023-28/
This paper develops a travel-based metric to measure Canadians’ access to cash from automated banking machines (ABMs) and financial institution branches. We find that, overall, access to cash remained stable between 2019 and 2022. The total number of ABMs in Canada increased by 3.7% and the total number of branches decreased by 5.2% during that period.2023-11-16T14:45:18+00:00enHow Far Do Canadians Need to Travel to Access Cash?2023-11-16Bank notesFinancial servicesRegional economic developmentsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-28https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/sdp2023-28.pdfHow Far Do Canadians Need to Travel to Access Cash?Heng ChenDaneal O’HabibHongyu XiaoNovember 2023GG2G21JJ1J15RR5R51Redefining Financial Inclusion for a Digital Age: Implications for a Central Bank Digital Currency
