Under the NRA, KBR Pty will be ineligible for bidding on or participating in new World Bank Group-financed projects for a period of two years. The case is also eligible for cross debarment under the April 2010 Agreement for Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions entered into by the African Development Bank Group, Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank Group and the Inter-American Development Bank Group. No fines were levied against KBR Pty by the World Bank Group in connection with the entry into the NRA.
