Economic Sanctions

Economic Sanctions are policy tools, typically implemented by a government or international body, that impose restrictions on trade, finance, and other economic activities against targeted countries, entities, or individuals to achieve specific foreign policy or national security objectives. These measures, which include asset freezes, trade embargoes, and financial transaction limitations, are a critical component of global regulatory compliance, particularly within the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) frameworks.
