Despite the statements and actions of the Central Bank, the Gourde continues to lose value against the US dollar and is trading today at about 60 gourdes for a dollar. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14572-haiti-economy-the-plunge-of-the-gourde-continues.html and nobody seems to know when this plunge will stop.

Recall that our Gourde was trading towards the end of 2014, around 47 gourdes per US dollar. Our national currency has lost more than 20% of its value in 2015, which toped the cost of living for all imported goods paid in US currency and contributes to inflation that reached yoy, 12% in November https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-16218-icihaiti-economy-inflation-breaks-records-in-2015.html
