I doubt you would be able to find such information. Banks in each country settle with their central bank, and the central banks of the world report to the BIS (Bank of International Settlements) in Basel, Switzerland (the Head central bank so to speak).
The official website of BIS: www.big.org
They do published reports on a quarterly basis, which you might want to check out at: http://www.bis.org/statistics/co...
Because the banks are not providing this information to a central repository in real-time, or even if they are to their central bank RTGS / Reporting system, the central banks are not reporting the same on a real-time basis.
Had there been a pressing use for this information, the likes of Reuters and Bloomberg would have already covered it (and I checked both, neither of them provide money flow/supply information on a worldwide level on a daily basis in real-time).
Almost all the central banks of every country do publish their monetary statistics for their own money supply. The definitions vary (depending on which central bank system you are referring to). Some publish this on a daily basis, some on a weekly basis. Most of them cover Broad Money supply (M2).
For more on these definitions and understanding refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon...
