Summary in figures:

Budget Resources:
“The resources of the 2021-2022 budget amount to just over 200 billion gourdes, including 120 billion (57%) of current revenue (71.2 billion of internal revenue and 48.8 billion of customs revenue)

Financing of the balance of the budget (43%)
External partners: 24.3 billion
Treasury bill issues: 12.48 billion
Financing by the BRH: 46.47 billion

Objective of the amending budget:
Restoration of a serene political and security climate to facilitate the holding of elections for the renewal of political personnel;

Implementation of the National Policy for Social Protection and Promotion (PNPPS);
Financing of agricultural campaigns to mitigate the anticipated rise in inflation, particularly due to the impacts of the geopolitical crisis in Eastern Europe;
Mobilization of domestic resources so as to be less dependent on external aid and also restore budgetary balance;
Reduction of the financing of the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) compared to its level of the previous fiscal year;
Continued implementation of the Tax Expenditure Rationalization Plan (PRDF);
Raising salaries in the civil service following the adjustment of the minimum wage.

Estimated expenses (+9.1%)
Projected expenditure: 210.5 billion Gourdes (+9.1% compared to the budget of the previous year)

Current expenditure: 141.9 billion gourdes (+17.2% compared to the previous year. Increase attributable mainly to wages 66.8 billion (+11.8%) and taking into account the subsidy for petroleum products of 20.1 billion gourdes).

Public investments:
Public investment expenditure: 38.4 billion financed up to 15.3 billion (39.9%) by the Public Treasury and up to 23.1 billion (60.1%) by grants and project loans.
