Haiti Diplomacy & Public Finance: Haiti’s Foreign Ministry is moving ahead with reforms, including four digital platforms to boost transparency and efficiency, plus a network “resizing” that cuts operating expenses and saves about US$1m per month (over 100 million gourdes), while also strengthening consular support and election-related international coordination. Elections & Regional Support: The OAS Secretary General met Haiti’s PM to discuss “credible,” inclusive, transparent elections planned for mid-December, with attention to justice, economic reactivation, and closer Haiti–OAS–CARICOM cooperation; the BRH governor and the economy/finance minister were present, and Haiti signed an agreement to integrate into CAF’s development bank. U.S. TPS Shock to Haitian Households: The U.S. ended TPS for about 350,000 Haitians, stripping work authorization and raising layoffs and deportation risk; New York Gov. Kathy Hochul warned the abrupt move will force firings of essential workers and disrupt healthcare and other services. Trade Preferences: The U.S. Senate passed a two-year extension of Haiti HOPE and HELP trade programs to Dec. 31, 2028, preserving duty-free access for over 1,800 products, including Haitian apparel and textiles. Security & Governance Signals: Haiti’s push to modernize institutions and restore state authority is being framed alongside efforts to strengthen security conditions for elections and economic recovery.
