Economic and financial sanctions

Economic and financial sanctions aim to make the operations of the persons and entities on the lists impossible in economic terms. These lists include persons and entities which may be associated with terrorism, or have committed actions in violation of international law or fundamental human rights.

The legal acts of the European Union serve to implement the economic and financial sanctions imposed by the Security Council of the United Nations, while they also set out autonomous economic and financial sanctions by the EU. Providers are required to monitor these lists so that they can implement the freezing of funds and economic resources imposed by EU legal acts as prescribed in Act CLXXX of 2007 on the Implementation of the Economic and Financial Sanctions Imposed by the European Union, and on Respective Amendments to Other Laws,
as well as the prohibition under EU legal acts on making funds or economic resources available.

The public statements of FATF and MONEYVAL list countries and areas where the systems to combat money laundering and terrorist financing are inadequate, as a result of which any relationship with such countries and areas involves a risk.

Monitoring the recommended lists is recommended primarily for providers involved in international payments, because specific countries make this compulsory for their own institutions and also require them to ensure compliance with that requirement by their institutional counterparties.
