U.N. Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs Miroslav Jenca also expressed deep concern about the slow progress on Haiti's roadmap for restoring democratic institutions after a coalition of gangs continue to cement its hold over the country, particularly in the capital Port-au-Prince.
This High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk this week warned that the population in Haiti's capital was practically being held hostage as gangs now control all the main roads in and out of the area. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports that the United States and Ecuador have now expressed a readiness to proceed with a formal request for recommendations from the Secretary General for re-deploying a fully-fledged peacekeeping operation to Haiti.

The Reserve Bank has cut the repo rate by 25 basis points -- in line with expectations.
The repo rate is now 7.75%, while the prime lending rate - the basic rate of interest that commercial banks charge their clients - goes down to 11.25%
This will bring some relief as debt repayments will go down, but for those with savings, the interest they earn from their money being in the account, will be less.
