Wholesale Cycle
Central Banks must ensure the cash availability of banknotes and coins for professional cash handlers in a good quality and in adequate quantity at the right time. “Public sector efficiency” confronts Central Banks and its currency departments with the responsibility to monitor the efficiency of the country-specific cash supply chain on regular basis, and to modernize the cash cycle model. The strategy of the Central Banks determines the outsourcing degree and the legal regulations/ policies for external cash handlers.
Central Banks’ modernization projects include activities for digitalization, standardization and automation of the cash supply chain. This results always in appropriate adjustment processes at commercial banks, Cash-in-Transit companies and retailers.
