U.S. Dollar scarcity in Haiti

Agent-x - December 12 2011, 1:21 AM

Who is playing on the US dollar scarcity key board in Haiti?

We need the name of person/institution of interests and the suspects.

We may start with the usual suspects hoping they will denounce themselves if they are guilty or lead us to the unknown new suspects.

This will be a win-win investigation.

There are at least nine main speculations or guesses to the current U.S. dollar scarcity in Haiti since November 2011.

1-There is an unexplained increase in export of goods from the Dominican Republic to Haiti during the last six months that jump from six million [6 M] to eighteen million [18 M] US dollar a month.

Currency experts said there is no tangent proof in circulation of such transaction in the economy.

This is an unprecedented trend in the trade history of between Haiti and Dominican Republic.

The cross-border imports of the country are estimated at around 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.

About half of these imports are carried out in the form of cash to buy goods from several Haitian shopkeepers.

Federal Reserve was in Haiti last week investigating the US $ scarcity crisis.

2-At least 8000 Haitian students in the Dominican Republic are receiving dollars in cash from their parents in Haiti.

3-international aid has helped to substantially increase the demand for greenbacks in the Haitian economy.

"Recently, the deposits in dollars rose. But in most cases, these deposits were made by non-governmental organizations and international institutions which have been credited the account from abroad.

4-request cash now reaches about 300 million U.S. dollars while the banks have not previously been supplied accordingly.

5-the OHR was forced to import several new dollar bills to its correspondent banks abroad.

But these foreign banks are very reluctant to issue such large amounts of dollars, especially since they often fail to understand why the Haitian economy uses all cash.

6-Possible money laundering on a grand scale was suggested.

However Agent-X does not have the picture of any new Laundromat in Haiti.

If such Laundromat exists our investigator will try to trace those that recently bought huge quantity of bleach or Clorox.

However if they use
