According to information received by our editorial staff, an agreement has been reached between the Prime Minister’s Office and the Transitional Presidential Council to resolve the crisis within the National Credit Bank (BNC).
The Banque Nationale de Crédit (BNC) is going through a period of turbulence following the dismissal of Raoul Pierre-Louis, the former chairman of the board of directors. This decision follows accusations that Pierre-Louis was asked to pay 100 million gourdes to presidential advisers in exchange for his continued leadership of the bank. The Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) is currently conducting an investigation to clarify these allegations.
The current BNC administration has been informed of this decision. Several members of the board of directors had already resigned or left the country well before this announcement. To ensure effective management of the BNC, the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) has formed a new management commission composed of five members. This move aims to stabilize the institution while waiting for the situation to normalize.
In addition, the BNC plans to seize some real estate belonging to debtors in order to recover unpaid debts, which should help improve its financial situation. Recent changes in the BNC’s administration reflect an effort to restore confidence and ensure more stable management of the bank.
