Documents

Official reports on Haiti

The library holds the official reports on Haiti, arranged by the institution that publishes them. Each document is recorded with its publisher, date, type and the page of the publisher's site where it was found. Recurring publications are grouped into series, so an annual report is read beside the editions before it. Where rights allow, the library keeps a copy. The document then stays reachable after the publisher's copy disappears.

Publishers, series and sectors

A document belongs to a publisher, a type and one or more sectors, and most often to a series. A series is the run of editions of one publication, and its page lists every known edition with its date. The sector pages gather the documents and indicators of one domain. Search runs on the full text of the documents as well as their titles.

Institut Haïtien de Statistique et d'Informatique (IHSI)

IHSI is the national statistics office. It publishes the consumer price index bulletin each month, the short-term economic activity indicator bulletin each quarter, and a volume of population estimates by department and commune each year.

Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH)

The central bank publishes an annual report with its statistical annex. It also publishes a statistical bulletin on money, banks, public finance and the balance of payments, an inflation note that comments on the price index, and the circulars that set the rules for banks and foreign exchange operations.

Ministère de l'Économie et des Finances (MEF)

The MEF publishes each fiscal year's budget law and its amendments, and the citizens' budget that gives a plain-language version of the law. It also publishes the monthly government financial operations table, the revenue and expenditure execution table, and the macroeconomic framework that accompanies the draft law. The budget portal gathers these documents with the tables extracted from them.

The audit court publishes the report on execution of each fiscal year's budget law, the opinion it gives on the draft budget law before the vote, and its rulings.

Citation and reuse

A citation names the institution that published the document, with the title and the date, and may give the address of the page where it was read. Each document carries its publisher's license, and a copy kept by the library does not change it. A wrong date, a misattributed publisher or a document the library does not hold is reported through the contact form, naming the page concerned.
