The total amount allocated in the 2024-2025 amending budget to the security forces is 35 billion Gourdes, or 28 billion for the Haitian National Police (PNH) and nearly 7 billion for the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd'H).

Beyond the statements of Advisor Fritz Alphonse Jean referring to a war budget https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-43748-haiti-news-zapping.html , the amount allocated is identical to that of the initial 2024-2025 budget of the CPT / Conille administration.

When the Ministry of Economy talks about an increase, it is in comparison with the 2023-2024 budget where the envelope allocated to the PNH was then 19.8 billion and that of the FAd'H 1.2. billion

In summary, the credits allocated to the main security forces have not increased under the CPT / Fils-Aimé administration

For Jean Michel Silin, the Director General of the Budget, "There is no problem with credits to finance security. What is lacking is planning and programming at the level of the sectors responsible for ensuring security."

Compared to the initial 2024-2025 budget of 323.4 billion gourdes, the amended budget shows a slight overall increase of 1.5% to reach 328.1 billion.
