Key Findings

First arrete (12 Sept 2016) reallocates FY2015-2016 credits across all ministries and public institutions via transfers/virements, motivated by execution difficulties and the absence of a Parliament-approved corrective budget.
Investment-credit reallocation annex: Gdes 15,686,500,000 in original credits, Gdes 2,050,512,551 deaffected and Gdes 561,302,142 reaffected across programs, yielding Gdes 14,197,289,591 modified investment credits.
Second arrete opens a supplementary advance credit of Gdes 797,006,344.00 on the 'Activites electorales' line to fund continuation of the electoral process.
The supplementary electoral credit is financed from dividends of modernized public enterprises, autonomous agencies and the public banking sector, not budgeted in the original FY2015-2016 budget.
The electoral supplementary credit is explicitly made subject to later ratification by Parliament (Article 55 of the 9 October 2015 organic finance decree).

Full Description

This special number of the official gazette Le Moniteur (No. 11, Wednesday 21 September 2016) publishes two executive arretes taken by Provisional President Jocelerme Privert, Prime Minister Enex J. Jean-Charles and cabinet ministers on 12 September 2016, under the authority of Article 38 of the 9 October 2015 decree on public finance rules. The first arrete amends the distribution of credits under the FY2015-2016 general budget decree (28/30 September 2015) via transfers and virements decided by Council of Ministers, citing the need to reassign credits between institutions to guarantee service delivery and to address execution difficulties, given that a corrective (rectificatif) budget had not been voted by Parliament. It is followed by detailed annex tables covering both operating (fonctionnement) and investment (investissement) credits, broken down by administrative entity, title, and, for investment, by program/project and geographic department, showing original FY2015-16 credits, amounts deaffected (reduced) or affected (increased), and the resulting modified credit. The investment-credit reallocation annex totals Gdes 15,686,500,000 in original Treasury-funded investment credits, with Gdes 2,050,512,551 deaffected and Gdes 561,302,142 reaffected, yielding modified investment credits of Gdes 14,197,289,591. The second arrete, invoking the socio-political situation following the recent elections and the exhaustion of previously allocated electoral credits, opens a supplementary advance credit of Gdes 797,006,344.00 (seven hundred ninety-seven million six thousand three hundred forty-four gourdes) on the 'Activites electorales' line of Public Interventions, to be financed from dividends of modernized state enterprises, autonomous bodies and the public banking sector not foreseen in the initial FY2015-2016 budget; this credit is made subject to subsequent ratification by Parliament under Article 55 of the 9 October 2015 decree.

Notes

PDF contains two distinct arretes (both dated 12 September 2016, same gazette issue): the credit-transfer/virement arrete (pages 1-56, with detailed annex tables) and a separate arrete opening a Gdes 797,006,344 electoral supplementary credit (pages 57-60). Both are captured here since they were published together as one gazette special number; doc_id/version label 'a' suggests a companion or later version may exist for further detail. Some fine-grained per-institution figures in the dense multi-column scanned tables (pages 3-10, 46-56) were not individually verified beyond the clearly legible investment-credit totals cited in key_numbers, to avoid transcription error on low-resolution scan text.
