A report released by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) claims the World Bank provided over $750 million in assistance to Enron power projects in seven different countries in the 1990s. Enron also seconded staff to the Bank through the World Bank Staff Exchange Programme.

Mr. Lay attempted to convince the Bank to stop funding social programmes.
