Haiti's Finance Ministry opens budget conferences for 2026-2027 finance bill
The MEF, through its Directorate General of the Budget, launched a series of sessions running through August 27.
Haiti's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), acting through the Directorate General of the Budget, opened a series of budget conferences on Wednesday, according to Le Nouvelliste. The sessions are scheduled to run through August 27. According to the MEF, the meetings form part of the process of drafting the 2026-2027 finance bill (projet de loi de finances). The conferences allow public institutions to present their priorities and needs, with the stated aim of achieving a more efficient allocation of national resources, the ministry said. Le Nouvelliste reported the launch as part of ongoing coverage of Haiti's public finances, which has also included the MEF's presentation of the country's fiscal situation at the end of June 2026 and continued consultations between the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) and the MEF around the tax code. No further details on specific budget figures, participating institutions or expected outcomes were provided in the reporting available. The initiative reflects the government's routine budget-preparation cycle ahead of the coming fiscal year.
