iciHaiti - Politic : Launch of the Digitalised Professional Identity Card (West)
28/12/2017 08:28:11

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI) will proceed this Thursday in its premises of the National Society of Industrial Parks (SONAPI) at the launch ceremony of the Digitalised Professional Identity Card (CIPD) in the department of the West.

Recall that the goal of the CIPD already launched in the South is to formalize trade in Haiti. This tamper-resistant card allows companies to respond to calls for tenders, open bank accounts, clear goods more easily, take out loans at the bank and make known its merchant status.

The Professional Identity Card is an obligation that gives all those who carry out commercial activities, the status of merchant. Anyone not holding this document would not be considered as a merchant. It will also allow the state to have reliable data on trade, for the application of its policies. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will facilitate free access to the digital CIPD for merchants whose CIP cards are up-to-date.

On the occasion of this ceremony will also be awarded plaques of honor to three young entrepreneurs :

Mike Bellot | "Solo Bag" (backpack manufacturing for students with solar panel, lighting and built-in battery) ;
Régine Théodat "Myabel" (Restaurant, of local products, sauces and craft cocktails) ;
Corine Sanon Joachim Symietz "Les Chocolateries Askanya".
