Faint bars: the projected periods. A projection, not a promise.
Palanor count of three official lists: U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists (public domain), the UK Sanctions List (FCDO, Open Government Licence v3.0) and the EU Financial Sanctions Files (European Commission, CC BY 4.0). An entry is one listed person, entity, vessel or aircraft; nothing is matched across lists, so a person on all three counts three times. By the designation date each list records; the newest month is the month so far. The UK and EU keep the original date for entries carried over from older regimes.
How many people, companies, ships and aircraft the U.S., the UK and the EU added to their sanctions lists each month since October 2023, when OFAC's change files begin.
