Panel: Cross-border Payments — The Past, the Present, and the Future We Envisage
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Cross-border payments are essential to the functioning of the global economy, yet inefficiencies in speed, cost, accessibility, and regulatory complexity continue to challenge their potential. Around the world, central banks and financial institutions are working to transform this vital infrastructure — through bilateral, regional, and multilateral efforts — into something faster, more transparent, inclusive, and resilient.
Join us for a two-part roundtable that takes stock of progress to date while casting a critical eye toward what’s next.
Part A will examine the trajectory of cross-border payments — what’s been attempted, what’s worked, and where meaningful challenges remain.
Part B turns to the future. As the Nexus global hub moves into live operations, panelists will explore how collaboration between public and private sectors can open up new use cases, business models, and partnership opportunities.
Topics to be explored include:
- Lessons from past approaches and reforms in cross-border payment systems.
- Key opportunities and risks facing today’s innovators.
- The role of Nexus and other platforms in enabling scalable, inclusive, real-time global payments.
- Public-private models that support sustainable modernization of financial infrastructure.
Speakers include:
Julie Guetta, Technical Solutions Lead, Mojaloop Foundation
