Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現金消失的一個重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司（在發(fā)達市場）和電信公司（在新興市場）之類的供應商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術,他們可以從中提取數據和小費。故選C。根據第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現金交易數量下降了80％；再根據“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數字支付從2012年占所有支付的4％上升到2017年的34％。故選D。根據第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質化；再根據第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現金交易數量下降了80％?？偟膩碚f,無現金經濟的未來是個好消息,但是對于電子支付人們也有一些擔憂。D.C.B..
