Meet the EU Sanctions Tracker app

Explore financial sanctions and travel restrictions imposed by the EU

The EU Sanctions Tracker is a tool designed to provide information on financial sanctions and travel restrictions imposed by the EU. Accessible via data.europa.eu and published by the Commission Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, this innovative tool offers detailed insights into the nature, scope, and impact of sanctions. By making this information publicly available, the EU reinforces its commitment to open governance and the rule of law. 

The EU Sanctions Tracker is a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and the public. It allows users to explore sanctions by individuals/entities, regimes, and nationalities, providing a clear overview of the EU’s foreign policy measures. The platform’s user-friendly interface, based on the ‘Asset freezes’ and ‘Travel bans’ datasets, makes it easy to understand the rationale behind each sanction and monitor changes. With regularly updated data, the charts and visualisations are automatically updated and can be downloaded by the public. 

In addition to its standalone features, the EU Sanctions Tracker is integrated with the broader European data ecosystem. Users can access related datasets on data.europa.eu, such as the economy and finance category, which aggregates data from various EU institutions and Member States. For example, researchers can compare the EU’s financial sanctions data with economic indicators from other European countries, with which they can execute a deeper analysis of the sanctions’ impact. 

With the EU sanctions tracker, the EU contributes to a more transparent communication towards citizens. With help from the glossary and FAQ, users can navigate easily through the tracker and find the information they need or get inspired by the many visualisations that show changes over time.
