We are delited to share the City & Financial Global highly topical Economic Sanctions Summit 2023.
The Summit is being held against the backdrop of the Government’s imposition of sanctions against Russian oligarchs and other entities whose association with Putin is potentially helping to fund the conflict in Ukraine. The key issue to be addressed is the Economic Crime Act which introduced measures to identify the beneficial owners behind foreign property owners, through the Register of Overseas Entities which went live on 1 August. It will also look at the use of London as a “laundromat” for criminals to launder money through the acquisition of property and how the National Crime Agency can combat this in the future.
While the current crisis has prompted the government to bring forward the introduction of the Economic Crime Act, its implications and those of the other accompanying measures will have a much broader reach and will considerably strengthen the UK’s ability to counter economic crime of all kinds in the future.
At an industry level, the speaker panel will comprise leading sanctions and financial crime specialists to look at how the imposition of sanctions, and the corresponding freezing of assets, will affect financial institutions and other global organisations with potential exposure to Russia or Russian nationals.
