1132 list changes in 21 days

The last 21 days on the sanctions lists, 28 July – 17 August 2026: 1132 changes — 325 additions, 132 removals and 675 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists. The lists moved on 11 of those 21 days.

The busiest single day was Tuesday 4 August with 620 changes. Most of the movement ran through UN Security Council Consolidated List (631 entries). By programme, ISIL/Da'esh sanctions (UN-SCISIL) led with 342 entries.

The cadence is the point: a client screened once and filed away was re-screened against none of those days. Ongoing monitoring re-checks the same names every time the lists move, so the file ages with the lists instead of behind them.
