What Happened: On November 27, 2018, President Trump issued a new executive order on Nicaragua requiring the blocking of all property and interests in property belonging to any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury to be involved with or assisting corrupt practices, the abuse of human rights or the destabilization of democratic processes in Nicaragua. On this same date, the Senate passed an amended version of the Nicaraguan Investment and Conditionality Act (NICA Act), which would establish restrictions on lending to the Government of Nicaragua by international financial institutions. The NICA Act now heads back to the House of Representatives for final consideration and, if approved, to the president’s desk for signature.
The Bottom Line: Corporations and persons with interests in Nicaragua and Central America should actively monitor the continued increased US sanctions on the Government of Nicaragua (including both current and former Nicaraguan government officials).
