September’s Rapid-Fire Update, in partnership with Control Risks, takes a deep dive into sanctions and key risk considerations with regards to Afghanistan. Amid a fluid situation on the ground, panelists will contextualize the sanctions in place and discuss the evolving domestic situation, such as the formation of a government by the Taliban and its implications. Among other aspects, this session will also examine the spillover impact on the stability of neighboring countries, the potential role regional powers might have in Afghanistan going forward, and implications for informal financial channels.
