Governments are using sanctions more actively to pursue foreign policy objectives, while heavily sanctioned states are developing alternative economic networks to protect trade, finance and strategic supply lines.
As a result, exposure is becoming harder to identify and manage. The impact is rarely contained to the sanctioned target.
