Some key points from the key discussion were:
- For the most part, sanctions don't work.
- The threat of sanctions can be just as devastating as the sanctions themselves.
- Current trends of sanctions on North Korea, and red flags for North Korean shell companies.
- Emerging technologies influence on the sanctions landscape.
- Sectoral sanctions created a lot of false positives in the ecosystem and are prompting some banks to push back against regulators.
- Trade finance is still mainly conducted in non-digital formats which raises the costs of compliance. Distributed ledger technology (DLT) could help increase transparency and potentially reduce trade-based money laundering (TBML).
- Do more sanctions related questions need to be asked during the customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) process?
This were just some quick bullet points, but there were many other good points made. Watch the video below.
