On Monday, October 13, 2025, as part of the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) participated in a series of strategic meetings with senior IMF officials.

Ronald Gabriel, Governor of the BRH, alongside Alfred Métellus, Minister of Economy and Finance, met with three senior IMF officials : Nigel Clarke, Deputy Managing Director; André Roncaglia, Executive Director representing Haiti; and Camillo Tovar, Mission Chief.

This meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of progress on the second review of the Staff Monitored Program (SMP) and to discuss prospects for cooperation to support ongoing economic and institutional reforms.

Ronald Gabriel presented the progress made by Haiti, including :

• Maintaining monetary financing at zero, a crucial step in ensuring fiscal discipline and preserving macroeconomic stability;

• Strengthening the prudential framework, accompanied by the implementation of new measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, essential to the proper functioning of the financial system;

• Exchange rate stability;

• Progress in the implementation of the national financial inclusion strategy;

• Strengthening net foreign exchange reserves.

These discussions helped strengthen the dialogue with the IMF on the next steps in our collaboration, in a spirit of continuity and consolidation of the reforms undertaken.
