Day 237: Sectoral Sanctions

🚀 Sectoral Sanctions: A Smarter Way to Stop Financial Crime?  

Did you know there’s a type of financial restriction that doesn’t just block one person or one company—but an entire sector of a country’s economy? It’s called #SectoralSanctions, and it’s like putting a “Do Not Enter” sign on certain money moves with key industries (like energy, defense, or banking) in a targeted country.  

### 🕵️‍♂️ How Do Bad Guys Get Around It?  

Even with these rules, criminals find sneaky ways to cheat:  

– Fake Companies – They set up “front” businesses outside the sanctioned country to secretly move money.  

– Layered Transactions – Breaking big deals into small, “innocent” payments to avoid detection.  

– Mislabeled Trade – Calling banned goods (like weapons tech) as “medical supplies” to slip past checks.  

### 💡 Why Does This Matter?  

Sectoral sanctions need smart tools to track tricky transactions. That’s where #InclusiveRegtech and #OpenSourceAML come in—helping banks and regulators spot hidden risks faster and fairer.
