André Lemercier Georges, the Minister of Economy and Finance has proceeded Thursday to the installation of the new Board of Directors of Banque Nationale de Credit (BNC). The opportunity for the Minister, to invite the new Board members to contribute to the social policy of the State and to be more inventive in order to provide the public robust products that attract investment.

"...in my capacity as Minister of economy and finance, my first concern will be to promote growth through investment incentives of all kinds, especially the direct investment to stimulate job creation.

In this regard, I urge the Council to be more inventive in order to provide the public with robust products that attract investment in both urban and rural areas to stimulate the development eg, of tourism, agribusiness, housing and information technology and communication.

Composition of the new Board of Directors of the BNC :

In this regard, the project of the housing loan Kay Pa'm launched on June 19, will soon have its own local. In order to participate in the promotion of the national production, advocated by the Haitian government, the bank establishes a special credit for artisans, micro and small enterprises in production and processing through the 10 geographic departments of the country. The BNC will continue of course to refine in parallel its mechanisms of debt collection..."
