Banque et décentralisation en Haiti selon Kesner Pharel

Extrait d'un article d'haitilibre.com sur le lancement récent de Kay Pa'm, programme de crédit dans l'immobilier:

« C’est une opportunité qui s’offre au système bancaire haïtien avec ce projet [Kay Pa'm] », a commenté pour sa part l’économiste Kesner Pharel, qui a insisté sur la nécessité d’ouvrir ce programme aux autres villes de province. « La décentralisation nécessite la création d’opportunités dans d’autres régions d’Haïti. 86% des dépôts d’argent à l’intérieur du pays sont faits dans les banques à Port-au-Prince, les 14 % restant concernent les autres banques de la République. De plus, en dehors de la capitale, suivant une étude du Groupe Croissance, moins de 5% des détenteurs d’un compte en banque ont accès au crédit bancaire. Cela témoigne de l’injustice qu’il y a dans le système. »
