The FINMA Notice:
Updated Sanctions Report: South Sudan
The Federal Department of Economics, Education and Research (WBF) has amended Annex 2 to the Regulation of 12. August 2015 on measures against the Republic of South Sudan (SR 946.231.169.9).
On the 10th August 2026, the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF changed the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The WBF has therefore adapted the sanctions database SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), which is relevant for Switzerland, and will urgently publish the adjustment on its website today. The urgent changes come into force today, 11:00 p.m.
In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.
