Debarment and other sanctions imposed by multilateral development banks (MDBs) can have a severe impact on the companies and individuals subject to them. Debarred companies may be "cross-debarred" by other MDBs, and the reputational damage caused by debarment can impact the ability of debarred companies to bid for contracts that are not MDB-financed. Sanctions proceedings are often lengthy and complex and require careful navigation.
