The discussion is motivated by two big dates on the horizon: one is Jan 26, when Kenya is supposed to clarify whether Kenyan forces will enter Haiti to help combat gangs; the other is Feb 7, when Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s power expires.
And note that the central bank basically hasn't published any economic statistics since May 2023, but the Haitian Statistical Institute puts inflation at 22% as of November.
