9 Change in cost of remittances I. Monitoring Trends The macroeconomic impact appears contained, but challenges remain While remittance costs seem negatively associated with number of active correspondents they have remained stable on a global level, but remain a challenge in some regions. Changes in the number of AC vs cost of remittances (in percent, ) Cost of remittances by destination region (in percent of amount sent) Change in number of active correspondents Source: Staff calculations based on FSB (2017), World Bank Remittances Prices Worldwide, World Bank Migration and Remittances Database. 0 Pacific (Small States) East Asia & Pacific (excl.

10 Remittances: Extent of the Problem Most jurisdictions say remittance firms are one of the sectors most affected by loss of correspondent banking services. In developing countries, remittance flows are frequently a key source of funds for households and represent a significant percentage of GDP Remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries are expected to increase by 4.8% in 2017 and 3.5% in 2018 to US$466 bn Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean are likely to see the strongest growth in remittance inflows Although remittance costs have declined over the past decade, the global average cost of sending US$200 remained at 7.2% in the third quarter of 2017 and is well above the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal target of 3%. Loss of correspondent banking relationships poses a challenge to the provision and cost of remittance services Concentration leads to financial stability and financial inclusion concerns May drive flows underground, increasing AML/CFT risks Source: FSB.

14 Remittances: Causes of the Problem Reasons cited by banks for terminating services to remittance firms Profitability Perceived high risk of some remittance firms practices because of Business models: large volumes of cash transactions; sending money to jurisdictions that are considered high risk; principal-agent model Diversity of firms in size, sophistication, target markets, etc. Lack of confidence in the supervision of remittance firms Lack of compliance with international standards (FATF) in some jurisdictions Source: FSB. INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 14 14
15 II. Monitoring Risks & Drivers The discussion of CBR issues in AIV reached a peak in 2016 CBRs issues were discussed across all regions Proportion of published Article IV Staff Reports which include references to CBR 3% 8% 31% 22% Number of staff reports with reference to CBRs per Region ( ) 12% 10% 43% 16% AIV Staff Report Published with 6 mention to 7 CBR AIV Staff Reports Published 19% WHD APD MCD AFR EUR 15 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 15

21 III. Efforts to Facilitate Dialogue Fund s Regional Initiatives Joint AMF-IMF High-Level Workshops UAE, October 2015 UAE, September 2017 Africa High Level Seminar Washington D.C., October 2017 South Africa, May 2018 Caribbean Roundtables Barbados, February 2017 Jamaica, November 2017 Bahamas, October 2018 Pacific Roundtables Australia, February 2018 New Zealand, February 2018 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 21 21
22 III. Efforts to Facilitate Dialogue Outcome of regional initiatives highlighted the following measures to address CBR pressures Measures identified by private sector Major/Good Progress in Implementing Enhancing communication between banks, removing impediments to information sharing Consolidating transaction traffic down-streaming Limited Progress in Implementation, so far KYC utilities, LEI, digital identity Fintech Strengthening capacity of respondent banks Improving regulatory and supervisory frameworks, including for AML/CFT Regional payment and clearance systems Setting up of public banks INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 22 22
23 III. Efforts to Facilitate Dialogue SSA Seminar highlighted the following measures to address CBR pressures Key Solutions Timeline Ongoing Short / medium term Long term Enhancing outreach and communication between banks Technical assistance and training by global correspondent banks Removing information sharing barriers Consolidating transactional traffic Fintech New technologies (mobile payment platforms) Consolidating AML/CFT supervision and regulation Mobile payment platforms have been successful (MPESA). Cross-border payments between some countries in the region could ultimately be possible via-crypto currency links. Fintech / digital solutions have potential though most have yet to be developed and broadly implemented. Need for a level playing field and standardization of regulatory frameworks.

25 IV. Tailoring Capacity Development Continued capacity development to strengthen AML/CFT regimes and banking supervision (Seychelles) Tailored technical assistance to help address CBR pressures (e.g., Angola, Belize, Guatemala, Jamaica, Solomon Islands) and monitor trends (e.g., data monitoring tool Bahamas, Belize, Guyana, Cayman Islands ) Develop regional responses in collaboration with regional CD providers. Fund is collaborating with the FSB, including on CD coordination INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 25 25
26 Key Messages The current trends in CBRs suggest that the decline in CBRs continues, though it seems to have stabilized in some of the countries that were badly affected (Belize). While financial fragilities remain in a limited number of countries, overall concentration is still high. Potential negative impact on financial inclusion and remittances requires continued attention. Drivers of CBR pressures remain the same (e.g. lack of clarity over regulatory expectations; weaknesses in regulatory and supervisory frameworks, including for AML/CFT). In addition, some financial integrity issues (e.g. corruption, transparency, sanctions) have recently gained more attention. INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 26 26
27 Key Messages IMF staff have continued to: Monitor risks through AIV surveillance and FSAP. Provide CD, including to specifically address drivers of CBR pressure and help authorities collect data and monitor CBR trends. Help identify solutions, some of which have been successfully implemented. e.g. enhanced communication between banks, strengthening respondent s bank capacities, help supervisors monitor trends, consolidation of transactional traffic. INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 27 27
28 The Way Forward Continue implementing multipronged approach : Monitor risks Assess macro-criticality of this issue Provide targeted technical assistance & training Use Fund s convening power Collaborate with other stakeholders on these issues Upcoming events: 3 rd Caribbean roundtable (October 2018) 2 nd Pacific roundtable (Feb. / March 2019) INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 28 28
