Cyprus Banks on the Frontline of Sanctions Compliance

Date & Time

Monday
Sep. 16, 2024
11:00am – 12:00pm ET

Location

5th Floor, Woodrow Wilson Center

Overview

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US, UK, and EU have imposed far reaching sanctions. European financial institutions have had to make a sea change in how they measure risk and implement compliance programs.  Cypriot banks have been at the forefront of this effort, adopting robust compliance programs as a continuation of their post-financial crisis reforms that have seen a drastic reduction in the percentage of Russia-related deposits and transactions.  

Join us for a conversation with the top compliance officers from leading banks in the region for a look at how they have worked at the forefront of combatting Russia’s sanctions evasions efforts and to make Cyprus a model for sanctions and anti-money laundering enforcement.

This event will be webcast and in-person. A copy of the slide deck used in the discussion is available for download using the link below.

Global Europe Program

The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues.  We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality.  But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.  Read more
