In this regard, the Head of State recalled the pending request of the Government to the main donor partners, for the financing of social programs ahead of the application of the Staff Monitored Program (SMP) concluded in February with the Monetary Fund international https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23659-haiti-economy-moise-accepts-the-program-of-control-and-the-requirements-of-the-imf.html .

President Moreno, recognized the importance of this financial support for the gradual implementation of the measures recommended in the SMP, especially the adjustment of fuel prices which are largely subsidized by the Haitian state.

In addition, as part of the 2018-2019 Programming, it was agreed that the IDB will continue to support, as quickly as possible, initiatives undertaken as part of the Caravan of Change strategy. With regard to agriculture, the President emphasized a better approach to support small and medium-sized enterprises, especially in rice and the poultry sector, with the help of Spanish guarantee funds, which have been available since 2011.

President Moreno has announced that he will visit Haiti next December.
