As announced by the Government last week, the boat of fuel from Venezuela arrived last Saturday in Port-au-Prince and the supply of gas stations immediately began.

The engineer René Jean Jumeau, the Secretary of State for Energy has assured that by Tuesday, the fuel shortage that affects the economy in recent days, "should in principle be solved."

Wanting to be reassuring, the Secretary of State has indicated that this situation should not happen again and that an additional order had even been made​​, so that the country does not know another shortage.

Mr. Juneau wished to stress that despite the higher prices of oil in the world, Haiti prices remained stable thanks to government subsidies. However, the Secretary of State indicated that this situation would change soon. Due to the financial needs of the Haitian State, the Government will have to suspend its fuel subsidies, which will cause an increase in fuel prices at the pump for consumers.
