Navigating sanctioned lenders in developing market financings

Sanctions risk has become an increasingly central consideration in cross-border lending, particularly in developing and growth markets where geopolitical volatility, shifting regulatory regimes and diverse lender profiles are more common. While market focus has historically been directed at borrower and obligor sanctions exposure, recent years have highlighted a more complex and less anticipated risk: the consequences of a lender itself becoming subject to sanctions during the life of a syndicated loan transaction.
