  • The Court of Justice Confirms the Annulment of the Fund-Freezing Measures in Place Against Bank Mellat Since 2010
    Court of Justice of the European Union PRESS RELEASE No 14/16 Luxembourg, 18 February 2016 Judgment in Case C-176/13 P Press and Information Council v Bank Mellat The Court of Justice confirms the annulment of the fund-freezing measures in place against Bank Mellat since 2010 The Council failed to provide sufficient grounds or evidence In order to strengthen efforts to combat Iran’s nuclear proliferation-sensitive activities and the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems in Iran, the Council froze the funds of various Iranian financial entities, including Bank Mellat, 1 from 2010 onwards. The reasons given for freezing Bank Mellat’s funds were essentially as follows: ‘Bank Mellat engages in a pattern of conduct which supports and facilitates Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. It has provided banking services to United Nations and EU listed entities or to entities acting on their behalf or at their direction, or to entities owned or controlled by them. It is the parent bank of First East Export [FEE] which is designated under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1929’. Bank Mellat successfully challenged the freezing of its funds before the General Court.2 The Council subsequently appealed to the Court of Justice to have the General Court’s judgment set aside. In today’s judgment, the Court of Justice, confirming the principles established in Kadi II,3 finds, as did the General Court, that the first two sentences of the reasons set out above do not enable Bank Mellat to establish specifically which banking services it provided to which entities, particularly as the persons whose accounts were managed by Bank Mellat are not identified.

  • Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration
    Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration Abigail Eineman IRAN WATCH REPORT John P. Caves III January 2021 1 Introduction During their confirmation hearings last week in the U.S. Senate, President Joe Biden's key national security nominees noted that the new administration was prepared to return to the nuclear accord with Iran, but warned that such a return would not be swift. First, Iran would have to resume compliance with the accord's nuclear restrictions in a verifiable manner, according to Secretary of State designate Antony Blinken, at which point the United States would resume compliance as well. President Biden’s choice for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, estimated during her confirmation hearing that “we are a long ways from that.”1 Compliance for the United States would mean reversing at least part of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” campaign—a set of overlapping trade and financial restrictions on almost every part of Iran's economy. The outgoing administration made such a reversal more challenging, particularly as a result of the sanctions imposed on Iran's financial sector in the administration's final months. On October 8, 2020, the United States designated Iran’s financial sector pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902 and sanctioned eighteen Iranian banks.2 In doing so, the U.S. Treasury Department applied secondary sanctions to Iran's entire financial sector for the first time, potentially barring foreign entities from the U.S. financial system should they do business with Iranian banks.

  • Financial Sanctions and Iranian Banks' Performance
    Journal of Money and Economy Vol. 8, No.4 Fall 2013 Financial Sanctions and Iranian Banks’ Performance Faraji Dizaji, Sajjad Received: 10/6/2014 Approved: 12/14/2014 Abstract In this study, we use Stochastic Frontier analysis approach to estimate cost efficiency, economies of scale, and technological progress among Iranian banks from 1999 to 2012. The results show that there is a marked difference in cost efficiency before and after the recent financial sanctions against Iranian banking industry. Moreover, the results indicate that specialized government-owned banks are less efficient than commercial government owned banks and non-government owned banks after the imposed financial sanctions. Furthermore, we could not find a logical relationship between cost efficiency and Iranian banks’ size. Cost reductions attributed to technological progress and economies of scale were greater prior to recent financial sanctions. Key words: Cost efficiency, Technological progress, Banking, Sanctions, Iran. JEL Classification: G21. Department of Economics, Tarbiat Modarres University, Tehran, Iran.
