Thursday as part of the 8th International Summit on Finance, Jean Baden Dubois, Governor of the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) exposed the Bank's monetary policy and Blockchain technology.

"Blockchain" or chain of blocks, is a technology of storage and transmission of information without control organ. Technically, it works like a distributed database, where user-generated information and internal links to the database are checked and grouped at regular time intervals into blocks, forming a chain of secure blocks by encryption. By extension, a blockchain is thus a distributed database, which maintains a list of records protected from falsification or modification and thus acts as a distributed and secure record of all transactions made since the start of a system distributed.
