丹麥對紙幣說不!

　　本日口譯文章：丹麥對紙幣說不! 有望成為首個無現金國度!

　　周三，丹麥當局發起，撤消部門指定零售行業必需接收現金付出的劃定，加速該國實現無現金經濟的措施。

　　在丹麥，近1/3的生齒應用MobilePay這類向別的電話和市肆轉賬的電話運用。而瑞典、丹麥和芬蘭人均信譽卡付出數也在歐盟內部壓倒一切。

　　丹麥當局表現到了來歲，司法將再也不束縛打扮店、加油站和餐廳必需接收現金。

　　該提案屬於推舉前關於經濟增加的系列舉動中的一部門。這些舉動目標在於削減付出並進步貿易臨盆率。提案需經由議會同意，但投票時光尚不清晰。

　　該提案不太大概在丹麥受到大批否決。該國應用借記卡或信譽卡舉行小額付出(比方在方便店買口香糖)的征象非常廣泛。

　　金融機構的說客Finansraadet以為無現金會使市肆削減安保付出，並勤儉從收銀機裏找錢的時光。

　　但是，有人擔憂完整轉向電子付出大概致使欺騙的危害增長。比方在曩昔十年內，如許的案例數目翻了一番。

　　The Danish government on Wednesday proposed getting rid of the obligation for selected retailers to accept payment in cash, moving the country closer to a "cashless" economy.

　　Nearly a third of the Danish population uses MobilePay, a smartphone application for transferring money to other phones and shops, and Sweden, Denmark and Finland lead in credit card payments per inhabitants in the European Union.

　　The government said as of next year, businesses such as clothing retailers, gas stations and restaurants should no longer be legally-bound to accept cash.

　　The proposal is part of a pre-election package of economic growth measures aimed at reducing costs and increasing productivity for businesses. It would need to be approved by parliamentalthough the timing of a vote is as yet unknown.

　　The proposal is unlikely to meet much opposition in Denmark, where it is common to use debit or credit cards for the smallest of payments, such as a pack of chewing gum at a convenience store.

　　Financial institution lobbyist Finansraadet said going cashless would save shops money on security and time on managing change from the cash register.

　　However, there are some fears that a complete move to electronic payment may increase the risk of fraud. In Sweden, for example, such cases have doubled in the past decade.
