Construction of Haiti's electricity grid project to begin soon, Taiwan Official said

Construction of an electricity grid in Haiti is expected to begin before the end of this year, a Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) official said Thursday.

The deal is now in the final stage as an on-site investigative team from Taiwan is making final checks in Haiti, Yui Tah-ray, director-general of MOFA's Department of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs, told a press briefing in Taipei.

Meanwhile, the government is also helping Haiti to secure a US$150 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of the Republic of China, a government-funded bank that offers credit insurance for foreign investment originating in Taiwan, to pay for the project.

Once the deal is signed, the project will officially begin, Yui added.
