Class moderncv, style banking has the indentation for cvitem set up as:

Title: very long description that runs to the next line very long description 

that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line

very long description that runs to the next line

I would like the second line to be indented just a little bit like this:

Title: very long description that runs to the next line very long description 

  that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line

  very long description that runs to the next line

I want this to be a global modification, without having to be specific about indentation every time I add a new cvitem.

Here's a MWE:

documentclass[11pt, letterpaper, sans]{moderncv}

moderncvstyle{banking}

usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

name{first}{last}

begin{document}

makecvtitle

section{Publications}

cvitem{Title}{very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line}

end{document}

One possibility you have is to indent the "very long description ..." to get

Title: very long description that runs to the next line very long description 

       that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next 

       line very long description that runs to the next line

If you want to get that follow please my answer here. The advantage here is that every mycvitem is indentend the length of given Title:.

If you -- as showed in your question -- only want to indent the complete paragraph a small skip you can use the following solution:

newcommand*{mycvitem}[3][.25em]{%

  begin{description}

    item[ifthenelse{equal{#2}{}}{}{hintstyle{#2}: }] #3

  end{description}% 

  paraddvspace{#1}}

Then you can use command mycvitem in your cv to get what you want like:

documentclass[11pt, letterpaper, sans]{moderncv}



moderncvstyle{banking}

usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

name{first}{last}



newcommand*{mycvitem}[3][.25em]{%

  begin{description}

    item[ifthenelse{equal{#2}{}}{}{hintstyle{#2}: }] #3

  end{description}% 

  paraddvspace{#1}}





begin{document}

makecvtitle

section{Publications}

cvitem{Title}{very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line}

mycvitem{Title}{very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line}

cvitem{Title}{very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line very long description that runs to the next line}

end{document}

with the result:
