The World Bank said it had suspended aid to Sudan following the military takeover that deposed the civilian prime minister.
In a statement on Wednesday, World Bank President David Malpass confirmed it had "paused disbursements in all of its operations in Sudan on Monday and it has stopped processing new operations as we closely monitor and assess the situation".
He added: "We hope that peace and the integrity of the transition process will be restored so that Sudan can restart its path of economic development and can take its rightful place in the international financial community."
The United States also suspended aid to Sudan after the coup.
