The impact of a cashless electronic payment system on hyperinflation in Bangladesh

Abstract

The increase of electronic payment methods, or payments that don't include the use of currency has transformed financial transactions. Non-cash transactions are convenient, simple, and fast, among other benefits. Furthermore, payments without cash have an effect on Bangladesh's currency management. The practicality that comes with using transactions without cash causes the velocity of money to increase. The society has seen a decline in payments in cash, yet the velocity of currency causes an intense pace when transactions without cash are used. It is thought that increased money transmission capacity will have hyperinflation implications. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the cashless payment method affects hyperinflation. This research utilized an analytical approach and additional information from the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2023 that had been collected through Bangladesh Bank using verification methodologies. Multiple linear regression analysis is the process of research. The findings indicated that the factors related to digital currency experienced significant adverse effects, the factors related to debit cards, credit cards, online banking, or mobile banking had a major beneficial effect, the parameters related to credit cards had a meaningless unfavourable impact, and the variables related to rates of interest had an important beneficial effect.
