The Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) recently spearheaded a pivotal training initiative aimed at bolstering the nation’s financial market infrastructure. On November 14 and 15, 2025, representatives from Savings and Credit Unions (CEC) in the Greater South region convened in Les Cayes to gain expertise in utilizing the Central Securities Depository (CSD). This advanced system, integral to the modernization of Haiti’s financial sector, operates in tandem with the Automated Transfer System (ATS) to enhance the registration, safekeeping, and transfer of securities, including Treasury bills. The ATS further ensures secure, real-time payment clearing and settlement, while optimizing liquidity management. This training is a cornerstone of the Financial Market Development Project, which seeks to modernize Haiti’s financial system, boost liquidity, bolster investor confidence, and democratize access to Treasury bills. By equipping CECs with the necessary skills, the initiative aims to empower them as effective Securities Account Keepers, elevate service quality, and pave the way for the successful implementation of the Financial Market Development project.
