On October 12, 2026, HaitiLibre announced that the nation’s Directorate General of the Budget (DGB), operating under the Ministry of Economy and Finance, has officially released the complete text of the September 30, 2026 decree that formally establishes the country’s general budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This 230-page official document, which is made available to the public in French as a downloadable PDF, acts as the foundational regulatory and planning framework for all Haitian government agencies as they map out and implement public spending over the coming 12 months, aligned with the state’s official budget priorities and policy guidelines set for the new fiscal cycle. In a statement accompanying the release, the DGB reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to three core governance values: full budgetary transparency, accountable good governance, and broad, equitable dissemination of public sector information. By making the full budget text accessible to all citizens, the agency aims to bridge the gap between public administration and the general population, enabling greater public understanding of how state resources are allocated and spent. The full 230-page PDF document is available for download via HaitiLibre’s official portal, and readers can also access supplementary reporting that breaks down the three top government spending priorities outlined in the new budget through an additional linked article published on the platform. This move marks a key step toward opening up Haiti’s budget process to public scrutiny and encouraging greater civic engagement with national fiscal planning.
