Abstract

This book offers an unprecedented dive behind the scenes of Haitian monetary policy. It reveals the paradoxes of an institution caught between the pressure of international donors and the urgent needs of a society plunged into poverty. Stabilizing on the one hand, sacrificing on the other: this is the vicious circle in which the BRH has locked itself. But the book is not limited to an observation. It opens up perspectives, by showing that another path is possible: a monetary policy for development, capable of combining stability and support for the real economy. Adjusted monetary sovereignty, selective financing of strategic sectors, financial inclusion, regional cooperation: these are all concrete ways to transform a defensive currency into a lever for reconstruction and social justice.

At the crossroads of economic analysis and citizen reflection, this book challenges researchers, decision-makers and the general public. It invites us to rethink monetary policy not as a matter for technocrats, but as a collective choice that engages the future of Haiti and its place in the Caribbean.
