Abstract

The European Central Bank has published its latest survey on household payment habits in the euro area, covering the period from October 2021 to June 2022. This is the first such survey on the post Covid period. Although cash is facing an ever wider range of digital means of payment, it remains the most widely used means of payment in France (and in the Eurosystem) at points of sale. Furthermore, households tend to value the option of paying in cash. Levels of acceptability and accessibility of cash are also considered very satisfactory. La Banque centrale européenne a publié sa dernière enquête relative aux habitudes de paiement des ménages en zone euro, réalisée sur la période octobre 2021 juin 2022. Il s’agit de la première enquête sur la période post Covid. Si les espèces sont confrontées à une offre toujours plus large de moyens de paiement dématérialisés, elles restent l’instrument le plus utilisé en France (et dans l’Eurosystème) pour régler les achats aux points de vente. Par ailleurs, les ménages sont nombreux à valoriser la possibilité de payer en espèces. Enfin, les niveaux d’acceptabilité et d’accessibilité sont considérés comme très satisfaisants.
