Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Sanctions

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB / BID) Sanctions List comprises firms and individuals that have been sanctioned by the IDB Group Sanctions Committee for engaging in prohibited practices—including fraud, corruption, collusion, and coercion—in connection with IDB-financed activities.

Sanctions imposed by the IDB Group include public debarment, conditional non-debarment, and reprimands, and are enforced globally across participating MDBs through the 2010 Cross-Debarment Agreement.
