BIDeconomics Haiti: Landscape of Opportunities

Haiti faces profound socio-political and economic challenges, marked by fragility, conflict, and criminal violence. The report highlights that the country has endured numerous political crises and prolonged civil unrest, severely undermining governance and institutions. Despite these challenges, policy reforms have been implemented in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund, encompassing areas such as governance and anti-corruption, tax and revenue administration, public finance management, and Central Bank independence. The Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group) has outlined a series of recommendations to help Haiti overcome its current challenges, focusing on state capacity, public service provision, and economic development.
