US lifts sanctions on 84 entities
The U.S. Department of the Treasury today, Monday, removed 84 individuals and companies from the sanctions lists, which previously included over 17,000 names, as part of efforts to streamline sanctions programs and facilitate the work of financial institutions. This measure is part of a comprehensive review of sanctions programs aimed at removing ineffective provisions and reducing the burdens on banks, with a focus on updating the lists and ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the sanctions. During May, 76 targets were delisted. The reports did not mention the imposition of new sanctions on Russian oil companies, despite this being on the agenda, in order to maintain stability in oil prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
