Haiti is no stranger to trauma – as we were reminded on Tuesday, when a power-line accident and the ensuing panic killed 16 people during Carnival celebrations in Port-au-Prince.

We need no reminding that Haiti is still recovering from a 2010 earthquake that killed as many as 300,000 people. During those catastrophic moments five years ago, it was hard to imagine a silver lining. But an important benefit did emerge – one, in fact, that may have saved some lives this week after the Carnival tragedy.

As part of the modernization policy of state services to future entrepreneurs through the establishment of the Electronic Single Window (GUE) [initiated in November 2012] www.haitilibre.com/en/news-7234-haiti-economy-wilson-laleau-presents-the-electronic-single-window.html , the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI) and the "Société générale haïtienne de Banque S.A." (Sogebank) signed a memorandum of understanding by which the commercial bank will serve as intermediary of payment by credit card, between clients and stakeholders [lawyers, notaries etc...] involved in the creation process of Limited Companies

According to Laleau Wilson, Minister of Commerce, this important partnership reflects the government's desire to promote public / private partnership in Haiti.
