A population of 5,5m (and some tourists) produced the following ATM volumes:

Million times/billion €s:

2014: 145,1 million times/14,4billion €

2015: 137,1m/13,9bn

2016: 124,3m/13,0bn

2017: NA yet m/12,1bn

So the rate of decline of €s has doubled to 7% in 2017 compared to 2015. Serious cost savings for all. Shops are not refusing cash yet - unlike Sweden where this is a rising trend.
