TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
UID:2023_06_28_duesseldorf_919402
DESCRIPTION:Deutsche Bundesbank hosted the 2023 meeting of the Central Ba
 nk GS1 User Group. Representatives of ten NCBs\, ECB and five GS1 Member
  Organisations (MO) met in Düsseldorf for a wide-ranging exchange of ide
 as on GS1 Standards in cash logistics.\n\nOn 27 June the group`s NCB par
 ticipants visited the modern branch of Deutsche Bundesbank in Dortmund. 
 First\, some key facts of the branch were presented\, illustrated by a v
 ideo before a guided tour took place.\n\nOn 28 June\, the Secretary open
 ed the annual meeting of the Central Bank GS1 User Group with a presenta
 tion of the results of the stocktaking on the use of GS1 Standards at NC
 Bs. The survey focussed on three thematic blocks: cash operations with c
 ustomers\, internal branch operations and central bank supply operations
 . The results will be published on this website.\n\nAfter introducing No
 tes-Held-To-Order (NHTO) and Coins-Held-To-Order (CHTO) schemes last yea
 r\, Banque de France (BdF) reported about the experience and findings. B
 dF has developed a set of GS1 messages to cover every process in the com
 munication between the NHTO/CHTO site and the BdF. \n\nThe US Federal Re
 serve informed the User Group about the progress of their E-Manifest Rea
 diness project that enables banks\, Cash-in-Transit companies and IT sol
 ution providers of the cash sector to connect to the US Federal Reserve 
 branches by means of GS1 Standards. In 2023\, production pilots were con
 ducted all over the US.\n\nBanca de España concluded that the cash marke
 t shifts to the private sector and that there is a strong need to be mor
 e efficient to ensure a smooth cash supply. The participants agreed and 
 discussed how the cash cycle could be optimised by the GS1 standards. \n
 \nThe participants looked for options to improve printing works deliveri
 es and cross-border bulk transfers between NCBs. This included ideas of 
 process optimisation\, update of the bulk transfer messages to the new G
 S1 XML format and a GS1 identifier for pallet seals. GS1 France presente
 d a prototyped pallet seal with a 2 dimension barcode and asked the NCBs
  to check if its use is feasible. \n\nDBB presented its project CARE to 
 strengthen cash resilience in the cash cycle. The idea is to create a re
 al-time picture of all cash points and all professional cash handlers th
 at is accessible to all participants.\n\nThe National Bank of Kazakhstan
  reported about their project progress to modernise the cash cycle\, whi
 ch includes the use of SAP S/4 Hana and the construction of automated ca
 sh centres using GS1 standards.
