Roundtable discussion: 2022 – A critical year for sanctions and the world?

As 2021 came to a close, it did so on a note of urgency – with many of the world’s tinderbox crises thrown into sharp relief by the sanctions prism: Russia, Ukraine and the West; China and Taiwan; new crisis in Sudan; Tigray’s ongoing woes; Afghanistan in the Taliban grip. Many of these programmes, by dint both of their geopolitical impact and perceived consequences, have generated debate well beyond the compliance community. 

The possibility of considerable shake-up in 2022 is a real one, given the state of relations between Russia and the West, and the ongoing JCPOA talks.

In this roundtable discussion, thought leaders, advisers to banks, multinational corporations and other organisations, will reflect on current sanctions programmes, their likely direction of travel, and related issues and impact for 2022.
