Would anyone know if this is a US/western specific issue?

Hard to fathom that the banking system in emerging markets would be running on Cobol or using it.

I assume it's an issue for anyone that started using computers in banking in the 1960s or 1970s (not sure when that happened around the world but it seems to be the case for Australia, USA etc).
