Haiti - FLASH : Fuel prices rise, Government plays on words
After intervening on May 16 to explain the increase by the end of June, of prices of petroleum products on the national market https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24395-haiti-economy-rising-fuel-prices-minister-delva-prepares-spirits.html announced by Jude Alix Patrick Salomon, the Minister of the Economy https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24319-haiti-economy-announcement-of-unpopular-measures-in-the-coming-days.html , Minister of Communication Joseph Guyler C.

In anticipation of public reactions, Delva urges all citizens to remain calm and avoid any attempt of social unrest and acts of vandalism, warning that police and judicial authorities will take all measures to neutralize all troublemakers.

While arguing in favor of fiscal responsibility, Minister Delva reaffirmed the Government's determination "to foster a stable, investment-friendly climate, which will facilitate job creation and the growth of the national economy with a view to establish sovereign governance..."
