Central bank tries to fix volatile gourde

The Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) has taken steps to make the value of the gourde worth the same amount in the informal market and at the banks, said Jean Baden Dubois, the central bank’s governor on Friday.
The exchange rate of the gourde has increased to between 70 and 80 gourdes per American dollar in the informal market. It ranges between 62 and 64 gourdes per U.S. dollar in the banking system.
“The BRH is currently taking measures that we do not need to make public, for obvious reasons, in order to calm the informal market down,” Dubois said. Source
