Welcome to the October 2026 edition of our SAMS monthly series. This month, we have consolidated 460 records from 8 major sanctions authorities worldwide, made up of 218 individuals, 186 entities and 56 vessels. It is a clear snapshot of how the global sanctions landscape keeps shifting.

The United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) led the way with 196 records: 62 individuals, 98 entities and 36 vessels. The United Kingdom followed with 103 records, covering 54 individuals, 29 entities and 20 vessels. The European Union added 63 records (48 individuals and 15 entities), while Japan’s Ministry of Finance recorded 57 additions (20 individuals and 37 entities). Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade contributed 27 records (22 individuals and 5 entities), and the United Nations Security Council added 11 (10 individuals and 1 entity). Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs recorded 2 records (1 individual and 1 entity), and Canada’s Global Affairs added 1 individual.

Every one of these names has already been updated in our proprietary database in real time, so your organisation stays globally and locally compliant without delay.
