what happened
Germany's financial regulator BaFin said on Thursday that it had cancelled the banking license of the Hamburg branch of Bank Saderat Iran and ordered the branch to be wound up. According to the regulator, the institution can no longer carry out any banking activity.
The decision was reported by Reuters, citing BaFin.
why it matters
The move affects a single small branch, so its direct market impact is minimal. It does, however, signal that European regulators remain strict about activities linked to Iranian banks under the sanctions regime.
market impact
Iran sanctions: tighter European oversight of Iranian banks, with minimal direct market impact.
