According to the new instructions received from Rosfinmonitoring Russian banks, the latter will be required to report all banking transactions of customers who are resident in countries that have adopted anti-Russian sanctions and a number of other states, according to “Izvestia».

List of countries formed “in accordance with the current political and economic situation in the world and in Russia” includes the US, Canada, Australia, Norway, Iran, Syria, Sudan, New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico, Switzerland, North Korea, and Jamaica, as well as the 28 states of the European Union. In the “black list” includes countries whose governments have introduced anti-Russian sanctions, countries supporting terrorism, states that do not lead the fight against corruption, indulging free drug trafficking, as well as the country does not comply with FATF (intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, which includes and Russia).

According to him, the new measures are an attempt to introduce finrazvedki symmetrical response. Some Russian experts say that the new requirements have Rosfinnadzor economic fundamentals and look quite consistent.
