The Danish government on Wednesday proposed getting rid of the obligation for selected retailers to accept payment in cash, moving the country closer to a "cashless" economy.

周三，丹麦政府提议，取消部分指定零售行业必须接受现金支付的规定，加快该国实现无现金经济的步伐。

Nearly a third of the Danish population uses MobilePay, a smartphone application for transferring money to other phones and shops, and Sweden, Denmark and Finland lead in credit card payments per inhabitants in the European Union.

在丹麦，近1/3的人口使用MobilePay这种向其它手机和商店转账的手机应用。而瑞典、丹麦和芬兰人均信用卡支付数也在欧盟内部名列前茅。

The government said as of next year, businesses such as clothing retailers, gas stations and restaurants should no longer be legally-bound to accept cash.

丹麦政府表示到了明年，法律将不再约束服装店、加油站和餐馆必须接受现金。

The proposal is part of a pre-election package of economic growth measures aimed at reducing costs and increasing productivity for businesses. It would need to be approved by parliamentalthough the timing of a vote is as yet unknown.

该提案属于选举前关于经济增长的系列举措中的一部分。这些举措目的在于减少支出并提高商业生产率。提案需经过议会批准，但投票时间尚不清楚。
