Key topics relevant to the MENA region might include the trade in gold\, correspondent banking and the abuse of corporate structures and enablers of sanctions evasion. \nRUSI experts will also discuss the typical responses to Russia sanctions from the private sector and best practices from around the world\, including examples of enhanced KYC and due diligence processes in the context of the MENA region.
