World Bank authorizes $68m aid to maintain Pacific Islands' access to int'l financial system.

The World Bank has authorized a $68 million initiative to support Pacific Island nations in maintaining access to the international financial system, vital for their tourism, trade, and aid. The funding will help subsidize correspondent banking costs and ensure compliance with financial standards. This program aims to prevent the loss of access to U.S. dollars and euros as Western banks withdraw, addressing a significant decline in banking relationships in the region.
