The document, originally released on February 28, explains that British institutions have been barred from doing business with the Bank of England, the Ministry of Finance or the (National) Wealth Fund of Russia. The appendix on gold exchanges was added following concerns about Russia's use of gold to circumvent sanctions.
The US Treasury Department on Thursday posted instructions on its website warning that gold-related exchanges, including those involving Russia, would include sanctions.
