The United States began to look for a "sanctions guru" amid their tightening against Russia

The US Treasury Department has opened a vacancy for a "sanctions guru" - an economist who will advise the agency on the impact of restrictive measures on fiscal and monetary policy, financial markets and other areas, BLOOMBERG reported.

The consultant will be required to help the country's government avoid major economic shocks, such as the one that faced the global aluminum market in 2018 in connection with the imposition of sanctions against companies associated with Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska.

Among the requirements specified in the vacancy are the presence of higher education (a bachelor's degree is enough) and access to classified information. The salary will be $12.5 thousand, or 761.5 thousand rubles. at the current rate.

A successful interviewee will lead a newly established US Treasury Economic Sanctions Analysis Group. it was formed after the US presidential administration analyzed economic sanctions and found that over the past 20 years their number has increased by 933%.

“What we don't want is for someone to just print 460-page academic papers. It will be a much more targeted and practical approach to solutions,” said Alex Parets, Advisor to the Undersecretary of the Treasury for Counterterrorism and Financial Intelligence.

According to Bloomberg, US authorities are facing criticism that sanctions are too often used as a political tool, that they are difficult to manage and are “virtually impossible to lift” once they go into effect. As a result, it becomes more difficult for businesses to obtain licenses, and private companies decide to "simply stay away from any jurisdiction where there is a risk of sanctions." And this even applies to a number of cases where US policy "requires some business involvement, for example, for humanitarian or other reasons," the agency notes. US Treasury officials believe the new specialist's work will help alleviate some of those concerns.
