On the morning of Wednesday, December 8, 2021, the acting Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, spoke with Ms. Lilia Burunciuc, Director for the Caribbean region of the World Bank.

Henry explained to the World Bank delegation headed by Ms. Burunciuc his Government's priorities to get the country out of the current dire situation.

Ms. Burunciuc congratulated the Prime Minister for the courageous economic and fiscal decisions taken and pledged a substantial strengthening of the financial support of the World Bank in several areas of intervention.

On the other hand, major World Bank financing programs for Haiti are under study and should be approved in the coming months, Lilia Burunciuc said.

All that remains is to wait for details from the World Bank on this "substantial financial reinforcement", the targeted areas of intervention and the major programs that are being studied for Haiti...
