A significant threat to global liquidity networks is De-risking—the practice where global commercial banks cut off correspondent relationships with local financial institutions in emerging economies to eliminate potential regulatory penalties.

Global Banks Face Strict Anti-Money Laundering Fines ---> Terminate Cross-Border Correspondent Accounts ---> Emerging Market Banks Lose Clearing Links ---> Transactions Shift to Unmonitored Cash Spaces

To combat de-risking and preserve international liquidity nodes, central banks work to strengthen domestic anti-money laundering frameworks, increase transparency across local transfer operators, and implement regional payment switches to maintain cross-border clearing links.
