The UK Government is making some changes and updates in relation to sanctions. On 3 November it launched a new sanctions enforcement action page on GOV.UK that brings together sanctions enforcement information from across HM Government - including penalty notices, annual reviews, case studies and key lessons for industry.
It has also announced that there will be a move to a single list for UK sanctions designations from 28 January 2026. Currently the OFSI Consolidated List from HMT provides information relating to asset freeze and investment ban targets across all financial sanctions’ regimes implemented in the UK. This list will close at 09:00GMT on Wednesday 28 January 2026 and from then the UK Sanctions List will be the only source for all UK sanctions designations. Guidance has been issued on moving to a single list for UK sanctions designations where you can read more about the changes.
