    BIS Working Paper: Competition Channels for Cross-Border Payments — Banks, Fintechs, and Stablecoins

    The Bank for International Settlements released Working Paper No. 1385, which compares the total costs of three cross-border payment channels: traditional correspondent banking and SWIFT-based bank transfers, fintech remittance operators such as Wise and Remitly, and stablecoin transfers. The study combines intraday fintech pricing, World Bank remittance data, bank transfer transactions, and crypto market data to construct comparable cost indicators across currencies and remittance sizes, distinguishing between foreign exchange markups and explicit fees.

    Analysis of Inflation Impact After the Iran Conflict

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a research paper assessing the impact of the Iran conflict on inflation in the euro area, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As of May 2026, the conflict is expected to push up inflation in these regions by a combined 1.5 to 2 percentage points in 2026 and 2027, with rising inflation expectations potentially contributing an additional 0.3 to 0.4 percentage points. The scale and duration of this inflation shock are smaller than those of the 2021-2024 inflation crisis, and long-term inflation expectations remain broadly stable.

    BIS Working Paper: Measuring Firms' Responses to Geoeconomic Pressure with Large Language Models

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released Working Paper No. 1386, which proposes an LLM-based reasoning pipeline to identify firms' actions in response to geoeconomic pressure from earnings call transcripts and summarize the underlying logic.

    BIS Working Paper: How Offshore Non-Deliverable Forward Markets Transmit Exchange Rate Pressure in Emerging Markets

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released a working paper that studies the transmission effects of offshore NDF markets on onshore spot exchange rates, using centralized clearing NDF transaction-level data for 10 emerging market currencies from 2013 to 2025. The study shows that a $1 billion long USD order flow causes the onshore spot exchange rate to depreciate by approximately 10 basis points, while the offshore NDF exchange rate moves by about 18 basis points, and offshore transactions widen the spread between offshore and onshore rates; when dealer balance sheets are strained, the impact on the spot exchange rate is larger.

    Disruptions of Key Chokepoints and Their Macroeconomic Impact

    A research paper published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) points out that geopolitical tensions are increasing the risk of disruptions to key chokepoints in global supply chains. Substitution effects and inventory buffers can mitigate output shocks, but often come with higher input prices. Addressing such disruptions requires tailored policies based on the cause, the criticality of the chokepoint, and the private sector's ability to substitute and buffer.

    Money and the Architecture of Trust

    This research paper, published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), is based on the credit theory of money. Starting from payment as a fundamental monetary behavior, it outlines four core tensions in the operation of the monetary system and proposes that money is essentially an institutional achievement sustained by trust. The paper applies this framework to the analysis of gold, Bitcoin, and stablecoins. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the BIS or its member central banks.
