The market size of currency circulating in Czechia's economy made up roughly 11 percent of the country's GDP in 2019, a value broadly comparable to previous years. This so-called CIC/GDP ratio roughly measures the use of cash money in the country. Due to the anonymity of cash transactions, sources struggle to find exact volumes on this. The ratio mentioned here is quite popular in that regard, as the data it needs is relatively easy to find. Some industry experts mention, however, that this ratio is too general and does not necessarily reflect retail payments.

Supplementary notes
The numbers provided have been calculated from two sources:
Currency in circulation in national currency from the IMF;
Nominal GDP in current prices and national currency from Eurostat.
The CIC to GDP ratio roughly reflects the overall use of cash in a country. Note, however, that this is quite general (as it looks at the overall market for cash) and does not exclusively look at the component of consumers.
