Haiti - Economy : The decline of the Gourde continues...
Depuis quelques mois, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12631-haiti-economy-concern-about-the-depreciation-of-the-gourde.html despite the reassuring statements and interventions of the Central Bank, the Gourde continues to lose value against the US dollar and is trading today between 57 and 60 gourdes per US dollar.

For economists Eddy Labossière and William Savary, the socio-political situation that is deteriorating a little more each day contributes to an already bad economic situation and accentuates the fall of our national currency.

For Enomy Germain, Economic Adviser in charge of Economic Actions and Investments of Young President Amos Cincir of the Youth Government of Haiti (GHJ) the devaluation of the Gourde has a domino effect throughout the economy, causing the increase in the price of many products on the market, especially the first necessities products mostly imported, a decrease of purchasing power and increased poverty.

In this sense, he urges the authorities to take urgent steps to curb this "crisis" exchange and encourages them to articulate public policies aiming to bring structural solutions to the problem of increased exchange rate.

According to our sources the Central Bank of Haiti (BRH) should put on the market more than 50 million US dollar during this month to avoid the scarcity of the currency that affects Gourde.
