In this month’s Sanctions update, Peter Piatetsky, CEO and Co-Founder, Castellum.AI covers recent sanctions designations, global regulatory changes, and sanctions enforcement.
Russia has once again dominated sanctions developments. In the beginning of the September, G7 members announced a price cap on Russian oil, and the details are still being negotiated. Russia’s declaration of annexation of 4 Ukrainian regions has resulted in new sanctions designations.
There is increased pressure, particularly by the US, to target sanctions and export control evasion.
Key topics covered in the update are:
- The price cap set by G7 implemented for all Russian crude
- Sanctions Compliance Guidance for Instant Payment Systems issued by Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
- General licenses, sanctions enforcement and new designations issued by OFAC
- Development of European Union’s 8th package of sanctions against Russia
- UK’s new sanctions and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Russia
- New guidance issued by the Philippines’ central bank on Targeted Financial Sanctions Implementation
