Blocking sanctions
The severest form of restriction: the target's assets are frozen and residents of the imposing country are barred from any dealings with it.
How to read the number
Unlike sectoral measures, which forbid particular kinds of transaction, blocking measures cut the counterparty off entirely — settlement and custody included.
When the metric lies
An ownership threshold extends the prohibition to companies the designated person controls, so the affected circle is wider than the published list.
