Demonetization is the process of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal tender, typically by replacing old currency notes with new ones or withdrawing certain denominations from circulation. Governments may implement demonetization for various reasons, such as combating counterfeiting, curbing black market activities, controlling inflation, or promoting digital payments. Demonetization can have significant economic and social implications, including disruptions to cash-dependent sectors, changes in consumer spending patterns, and shifts in monetary policy objectives. While demonetization aims to achieve long-term economic benefits, it may cause short-term challenges and uncertainties, such as liquidity shortages, cash hoarding, and economic slowdowns. Effective communication, proper planning, and supportive policies are essential for minimizing adverse effects and ensuring a smooth transition during demonetization processes.
