Haiti's Finance Ministry opens budget conferences for 2026-2027 finance bill
The MEF launched a series of budget consultations running through August 27 to shape the draft finance law.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), through its Directorate General of the Budget, opened a series of budget conferences on Wednesday, according to Le Nouvelliste. The meetings are scheduled to continue until August 27. The ministry said the conferences are part of the process of drafting the 2026-2027 finance bill (projet de loi de finances). During these sessions, public institutions are able to present their priorities and needs, the MEF said, with the stated aim of achieving a more efficient allocation of national resources. The launch was documented in a photograph taken at the opening of the budget conferences. The initiative forms part of broader consultations the MEF has undertaken regarding public finances, alongside reported dialogue with the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) around the fiscal code. No further details on individual institutional allocations or the overall budget envelope were provided in the reporting. Le Nouvelliste is the sole source for this account.
