companies that fail to comply with relevant compliance requirements when participating in projects funded by multilateral development Banks，such as the world bank，may be subject to sanctions and thus lose the opportunity to undertake further projects funded by these Banks. This paper analyzes the trend and reasons of Chinese enterprises subject to sanctions imposed by the world bank，introduces the types of sanctions imposed by the world bank and the compliance programs required by the world bank. Finally，the authors suggest that enterprises participating in world bank’s projects should prevent sanctions risk，enhance understanding of the world bank sanctions regime，strengthen the awareness of compliance risk decision carefully，at the same time to speed up to establish the compliance management system，realize the systematic and institutionalized supervision and management，to enhance the compliance competitiveness of the enterprise.
