Summary

Abstract

In any modern economy, payments may take a number of forms. Not long ago, the range of payment instruments was limited to largely paper-based options - cash, checks, and transfers. In today's advanced economies, these payment instruments are supplemented by credit and debit cards, smart cards and emerging electronic alternatives. This report examines some of the broad trends in methods of payment in Europe, particularly in the European Union and the economies of Central and Eastern Europe.
