The G20's target to reduce the cost and improve the speed of cross-border payments by 2027 is slipping, primarily due to coordination challenges rather than payment infrastructure flaws. The Financial Stability Board highlights that while payment rails have improved, underlying transaction coordination across multiple parties and jurisdictions remains fragmented, causing delays and inefficiencies.
