In the fractured finance order, access is engineered, not accidental.

In this fractured order, access to capital is no longer passive, it is a competitive capability.

Leading corporates are beginning to treat capital the way supply-chain managers treat logistics: mapping financing routes across currencies, blocs, and regulatory regimes to anticipate where bottlenecks
might emerge.

This means constructing modular “credit stacks”: combining local bank facilities, sovereign and multilateral guarantees, thematic bonds in green or defence markets, and digital settlement rails (McKinsey, 2025; World Bank, 2025; BIS, 2025).

Resilient firms design their treasury architecture so that if one venue closes, another can be activated quickly.

Over the next three years, advantages will accrue to companies with this agility built in — those able to pivot funding venues in response to shifts in policy, regulation, or geopolitics.

The capability to reroute capital is becoming as valuable as the capital itself (IMF, 2025; SWIFT, 2025).
