The inefficiency of cross border payments is well known and lags behind the improvements seen in domestic payments. This stifles global trade and particularly hurts small/medium enterprises who are the engine room of economic growth. The value of cross border payments is estimated to increase from $150 trillion in 2017 to $250 trillion by 2027. The World Bank monitors the global average cost of sending a $200 international payment which in June 2022 stood at 6.01% and has targeted halving this to 3% by 2030. The G20 Roadmap sets out steps to enhance cross border payments which should help to meet this and other targets. However, this needs to be implemented while not relaxing vigilance on money laundering, KYC, and the appropriate and accurate exchange of data. The P20 report contains specific best practice actions to move towards borderless payments. But this can only be achieved through collaboration between governments, regulators and industry.
