UK to move to a single list for UK sanctions from January 2026

HM Treasury has published guidance confirming that from 28 January 2026, the UK Sanctions List (UKSL) will become the sole official source for UK sanctions designations, replacing the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets. From this date, all new sanctions entries will appear only on the UKSL, which will include clearer identifiers and will be available in a more user-friendly format. An updated search tool and designation notices for all types of sanctions designations will also be introduced to make it easier to understand who is sanctioned and why. Businesses are encouraged to start updating their systems now to avoid disruption and prepare for the formal closure of the OFSI Consolidated List.
