UNCTAD联合国贸易和发展会议：2024代理银行关系和贸易报告（英文版）

Banks often use intermediary banks through Correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) to enable cross-border payments. These relationships are, therefore, critical for international trade transactions that rely on those payments. In recent years, CBRs have declined in many developing economies, and the de-risking strategy of some banks contributes to this trend. This decline in CBRs creates a challenge for LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS to conduct trade.
