OFSI to update consolidated list links

In 2 weeks time, OFSI will update links to the consolidated list, the system it uses to publish the details of individuals and entities subject to financial sanctions.

The consolidated list extracts will have new updated links on the gov.uk website. It is important that any bookmarks to the old links for each format are updated to the new links.

In addition to the existing five formats in which OFSI currently publishes the consolidated list (html, csv, xls, pdf and txt), it will now also be published as an .xml file. The files themselves will be updated as and when there are changes to the consolidated list and you will continue to be able to use the consolidated list as you do now.

There will also be a new search tool to help individuals and organisations identify targets of financial sanctions more easily. This allows users to quickly search the list of asset-freeze targets and the list of targets subject to restrictions on financial markets and services.

Further details will be published in the coming weeks. OFSI will be updating current links to the consolidated list on 30th August 2019.
