I. Introduction
Haiti already had the lowest per capita income in the Western Hemi-
sphere, when it suffered a further significant deterioration in economic and
social conditions in the three years following the military coup that ousted
President Aristide in September 1991. With the imposition of the trade
embargoes I/ and the suspension of all but humanitarian external aid, real
GDP is estimated to have declined by about 30 percent over 1991-94; infla-
tion rose from an average of 18 percent a year during 1991-93 to 52 percent
in September 1994; activity in the export-oriented assembly industries
(which had accounted for more than three quarters of total export revenues
prior to the coup) virtually ceased; the tax collection and expenditure
control systems broke down; and maintenance of the economic and social
infrastructure was all but abandoned.
In the public finances, the current account of the nonfinancial public
sector (before grants) shifted from balance in 1991 to a deficit of 3.8 per-
cent of GDP in 1994. With the lack of foreign financing, capital investment
fell to very low levels over the period and the overall deficit (before
grants) declined from 4.5 percent of GDP to 4.2 percent of GDP; the deficit
was financed mainly by recourse to central bank credit and the accumulation
of arrears.
The sharp increase in central bank net credit to the public sector in
1991-94 was financed mainly by a sizable increase in currency issue and, in
1993, by an increase in reserve requirements on demand deposits at commer-
cial banks. Generally over this period, commercial banks built up substan-
tial net foreign assets, reflecting the strong growth of their deposit base
and limited lending to the private sector.
With the closing down of about two thirds of the assembly industries
and the effect of the trade embargo on coffee shipments, exports declined
from US$202 million in 1991 to under US$60 million in 1994; total imports
fell from US$449 million to US$141 million over the same period, notwith-
standing the expansion of humanitarian aid programs. The external current
account deficit (excluding grants) fell from 12.9 percent in 1991 to
6.9 percent of GDP in 1994 and was financed largely by humanitarian aid and
by the accumulation of external arrears.
i/ An OAS embargo that mainly affected regional trade was imposed in
1991. In May 1994, a UN embargo on shipments of fuel and military equipment
(in effect since June 1993) was widened to include all trade except for
humanitarian imports.

II. Macroeconomic Trends
1. Output and expenditure
Haiti has experienced a dramatic deterioration in economic and social
conditions since the military coup, accentuating the downward trend evident
since the mid-1980s. Real GDP is estimated to have declined by 28 percent
over the period 1991-94. I/!/ In 1994 alone, GDP declined more than 10 per-
cent as the total trade and payments embargo imposed on Haiti in May
paralyzed most economic activity (Tables 1, 2, and 3). With a population
growth averaging about 1.8 percent a year, real GDP per capita fell at an
average annual rate of 5.7 percent between 1991 and 1994, Per capita GDP is
estimated at US$260 in 1994, putting Haiti amongst the poorest countries in
the world.
In 1991-94 consumption and investment were affected adversely by polit-
ical unrest and economic sanctions. In 1992 consumption fell by 13 percent
in real terms following the first sanctions imposed on Haiti by the OAS; it
grew by about 10 percent in real terms in 1993 as the sanctions were eased;
and in 1994, with the imposition of the UN sanctions, it fell by 14 percent
in real terms to below its 1987 level. Public consumption stagnated in
1990-92 but increased sharply in 1993-94, mainly reflecting the growth of
public employment.
Investment was affected adversely by the absence of external financing
as multilateral and bilateral donors suspended disbursements following the
1991 coup. Total investment fell from 11 percent of GDP in 1991 to about
2 percent of GDP in 1994, resulting in a marked deterioration of the
country's economic infrastructure and industrial base. The reduction in
investment was accompanied by a sharp decline in national savings, which
fell from -1.6 percent of GDP in 1991 to -5.2 percent in 1994 (Table 4).
2. Production bv sector
The primary sector contributes about 40 percent of GDP and is dominated
by agriculture. The agricultural sector is characterized by small hold-
ings, generally under two hectares, accounting for almost 75 percent of the
cultivated land. Productivity is low and has declined since the 1980s as a
result of insecurity of land tenure, inefficient farming methods, inadequate
extension services, insufficient irrigation and the deterioration of the
soil properties, and the physical infrastructure. Agricultural output is
estimated to have declined by 7 percent during 1991-94 (Table 5). Most of
the decline at the beginning'of the period was attributable to weather
conditions; after 1992 the decline mainly reflected sharply higher input

2/ During this period the quality of the statistical base deteriorated
dramatically.

prices because of the embargo \J and irrigation problems resulting from a
lack of adequate energy supply.
Coffee production has declined for most of the last decade, mainly
because of the downward trend of coffee prices which induced producers to
switch to other more profitable crops for domestic consumption. Despite a
recovery of prices in the last three years production remained stagnant in
1992 and declined in 1993-94, reflecting the loss of export markets due to
the trade embargo. Sugarcane production fell only slightly in 1991-94
(Table 6) as production was shifted to the domestic market, mainly to
distillers for the production of rum. Similarly, the production of tropical
fruits was maintained as a result of increased domestic sales. Other
agricultural crops such as rice, corn, and sorghum, were affected badly by
drought in 1991 and production continued to decline in 1992-94, mainly
because of the shortages of fertilizers. £/ In addition, the production
of high quality rice was affected adversely by the increase in prices of
imported seeds.
The value added contributed by the secondary sector fell from about
20 percent of GDP in 1991 to 12.2 percent of GDP in 1994. Many firms were
closed as a result of the economic sanctions and employment in the sector
fell sharply. In particular, in the assembly industry (mainly textiles and
electronics) the number of firms operating fell from about 145 in 1991 to
less than 30 in early 1994 and employment fell from 40,000 to about 8,000
over the period. By end-1994 assembly operations for export had virtually
ceased.
In the rest of the manufacturing sector, some sectors were successful
in switching production to domestic markets (mainly food and beverages and
some textiles); however, activity in the sector as a whole declined, partly
as a result of the closure of the state-owned cement and flour mill corpora-
tions. Construction activity fell throughout 1991-94, reflecting low levels
of public and private investment over the period.
Value added in the service sector declined in line with the rest of the
economy; however, there appears to have been some increase in informal
activity sustained by smuggling. With tourist activity virtually disap-
pearing after 1991, the hotel and restaurant sector contracted.
Public utility services suffered from the absence of financing for
maintenance and investment and the lack of oil supplies. The operations of
the electricity company were particularly badly hit: no significant new
equipment had been pur chased, since 1986; spare parts which needed to be
imported were unavailable after 1991; and the progressive depletion of oil
I/ More than 60 percent of the fertilizers used by farmers are imported.
2/ In Antibonite, one of the main regions for the production of rice, a
decline of more than 50 percent in the consumption of fertilizers took place
over the period.

supplies resulted in continuous interruptions in electricity generation.
The production of electricity from thermic plants (which represented about
65 percent of electricity production in 1991) declined from 290 millions of
kwh in 1991 to 27 millions of kwh in 1994 (Table 7) . The decline in thermic
plant generation was only partly offset by additional hydroelectric
generation. At the beginning of 1994 electricity production at the main
hydroelectric plant (in Peligre) was stopped as a result of technical
difficulties; by the end of the year electricity was available for only 12
hours a day in Port-au-Prince. The shortage and constant interruption of
electricity supply led many households and enterprises to generate their own
electricity.
3. Price developments
Inflation rose from an average of 18 percent a year in 1991-92 to
27 percent in 1993-94, reaching 52 percent by the end of the period
(Tables 8 to 12). The increase in the last two years was associated with
the devaluation of the gourde and the scarcity of imported goods as a result
of the embargo. The total embargo on oil led to large increases in gasoline
prices which were felt throughout the economy; gasoline prices on the black
market reached G 225 a gallon in August 1994 compared to an official price
of G 16.25 per gallon; after October 1994 (following the return of President
Aristide) supply conditions improved and gasoline prices fell sharply. A
new petroleum pricing policy, under which prices are adjusted automatically
for changes in import costs, was introduced in October 1994. I/
4. Employment and wages
Little information is available on wages and employment. The main
source of information was the National Office of Sickness, Accident, and
Maternity Insurance (OFATMA) which collects the contributions from enter-
prises to cover the insurance expenditures. 2/ However, this institution
was closed in 1994 because of a lack of contributions. The information
available suggests that a sharp fall in employment took place in 1991-94.
As noted, the total number of employees in the assembly industry fell by
32,000 over the period. Public sector employment increased rapidly,
particularly after 1992. Over 1991-94 the number of employees increased by
about 16 percent in the Central Administration and by about 30 percent in
the public enterprises. In early October 1994 the Government dismissed some
1,200 workers who were added to the payroll between May and September. In
addition, the state electricity and the water supply companies reduced
employment by about 10 percent in October 1994.
i/ Over the next three months the pump price of gasoline traded at around
G 30 per gallon.
2/ Contribution range from 2 percent to 3 percent of wages; although the
law requires that all firms have to be affiliated with OFATMA, only about
2.5 percent of the employed population is covered.

The minimum wage in Haiti has been unchanged since October 1984 at G 15
per day (Table 13), as such, it has fallen sharply in real terms as a result
of the inflation.
III. Public Finances. 1991-94 I/
1. Introduction
Haiti's consolidated public sector comprises the General Government and
the six major state-owned enterprises. £/ The General Government includes
the operations of the Central Administration, capital outlays financed with
external concessional assistance, ^J the municipal authorities, and
several semi autonomous agencies, the most important of which is the social
security agency (ONA).
2. Overall trends
Developments in the public administration following the 1991 coup
compounded structural weaknesses already inherent to the government finances
of Haiti. 4/ In the three-year period through September 1994, tax revenue
fell sharply, outlays on capital expenditure and maintenance were reduced to
a minimum, and the wage bill increased sharply as a result of additions to
public sector employment. 5/
The overall deficit of the nonfinancial public sector (after grants)
rose from 1.8 percent of GDP in 1991 to 4.1 percent in 1994 (Table 14).
With investment declining sharply, the widening of the deficit reflected a
fall in public sector savings from balance in 1991 to a deficit equivalent
to 3.8 percent of GDP in 1994. The overall deficit was financed by recourse
to bank credit and the accumulation of arrears (Table 15) .
3. Operations of the General Government
Haiti does not have a consolidated central government budget. The
central government budget comprises domestic revenue and external grants for
I/ Refers to the fiscal years ending September 30.
2/ The six major public enterprises comprise: the electricity company
(EDH) , the telecommunications company (TELECO) , the port administration
(APN), and the water supply company (CAMEP), the cement company (Ciment
d'Haiti; closed down in 1993); and the flour mill (Minoterie; closed down in
1992).
I/ Development aid is not channelled through the Treasury accounts.
4/ These include the narrow tax base, the pervasive nature of tax
exemptions, and the widespread tax evasion.
5J The number of civil servants rose from an estimated 39,000 prior to
the coup to about 45,534 by September 1994, including an increase of 1,211
during the administration of Mr. Jonassaint (June-September 1994).

budgetary support; most public investment outlays are financed from external
sources and are not incorporated in the budget. The operations of the
General Government integrate the operations of the Central Government with
development expenditures financed with foreign assistance (Table 16) . Owin
to the absence of foreign financing, the operations of the General Govern-
ment reflected primarily those of the Central Administration in 1991-94
(Table 17).
The overall balance of the General Government (after grants) moved from
a deficit of 1.4 percent of GDP in 1991 to a deficit of 5.3 percent in 1994.
while the current account deficit widened from around 0.6 percent of GDP to
5.1 percent. The deterioration was mainly attributable to a 4.3 percentage
points reduction in tax collections, reflecting the slowdown in economic
activity and the collapse of tax administration. \J General government
current expenditure rose from 8.2 percent of GDP in 1991 to 9.2 percent in
1993, despite declines in the level of maintenance expenditure, and then
fell to 8.4 percent of GDP in 1994, reflecting the general disarray in
public administration rather than a deliberate policy of expenditure
restraint.
a. Revenues
Tax collection fell from 7.6 percent of GDP in 1991 to about 5.5 per-
cent a year in 1992-93 and to 3.3 percent in 1994, reflecting the sharp
decline in economic activity and the breakdown of tax administration
(Table 18) . Internal tax collection declined by about half in relation to
GDP during 1991-94. Excise taxes on petroleum products, alcohol, and
tobacco (which accounted for about 30 percent of total internal revenue)
declined as a result of a significant drop in imports of petroleum products
and in industrial production; revenue from other internal taxes also fell
sharply. Import duty revenues fell from 1.7 percent to 0.4 percent of GDP,
reflecting a lower taxable base and the breakdown in customs administration.
Transfers to the Central Government from the public enterprises (which had
averaged about 0.3 percent of GDP a year in 1992-93) fell to less than
0.1 percent of GDP in 1994, as the financial performance of the major public
enterprises deteriorated. External budgetary support also fell sharply in
1991-94 with only a single grant of US$1 million from the Government of
Taiwan recorded in the period.
I/ A 1991 U.S. Presidential Executive Order prohibited any direct or
indirect payment or transfer of funds by a U.S. national or company to the
de facto regime in Haiti. Accordingly, U.S. owned companies, opened escrow
accounts in local commercial banks (in the name of the Central Government)
in which they deposited their tax obligations. These monies are included in
the revenue estimate from 1992.
- 7 -
b. Expenditures
Expenditures fell from 12 percent of GDP in 1991 to 8.8 percent in
1994, mainly reflecting the lack of foreign financing for investment. In
1991-93 current expenditures increased by about 1 percentage point to
9.2 percent of GDP, mainly reflecting the increase in the wage bill. In
1994 expenditures fell back to the 1991-92 levels in terms of GDP, although
most of it took place between June and September 1994, when the military
authorities installed the Jonassaint Government. A significant part of this
expenditure was carried out by means of ministerial discretionary accounts
which has not been documented.
Wages and salaries, which account for about two thirds of budgetary
spending, rose from 5.3 percent of GDP in 1991 to an average of 5.5 percent
of GDP in 1992-94. In the absence of any general wage and salary increase,
movements in the wage bill reflected mainly an increase in employment.
Expenditure on maintenance (excluding outlays effected through discretionary
accounts) declined from 2.2 percent of GDP in 1991 to 0.5 percent in 1994,
while nonitemized expenditure increased from about 0.4 percent of GDP in
1991 to 1.3 percent of GDP in 1994. As noted, in the absence of foreign
financing, capital expenditure fell sharply in 1991-94.
4. Operations of the public enterprises
The performances of the major enterprises showed several common charac-
teristics in 1991-94. On the revenue side, there was a general failure to
adjust prices in the face of changing business conditions and there were
collection difficulties (the ratio of collections to billings declining
sharply over the period). On the expenditure side, there were capacity
constraints, reflecting the lack of public investment in recent years, the
wage bill grew sharply, and payments arrears were accumulated.
The consolidated overall balance of the enterprises improved from a
deficit equivalent to 0.4 percent of GDP in 1991 to a surplus of 1.2 percent
of GDP in 1994, reflecting mainly the improved position of TELECO and the
low level of investment (Table 19). However, the improvement masked the
precarious financial position of the sector resulting from collection
arrears and blocked access to funds. I/ As a direct consequence of the
reduced liquidity position, public enterprises were financed by central bank
credit and the accumulation of payments arrears. The consolidated revenues
of the enterprises fell from 6.9 to 4.5 percent of GDP over 1991-94, as a
I/ The 1991 U.S. Presidential Executive Order blocked all property and
interests in property of the Government of Haiti and its agencies and
controlled entities in the United States, including the Central Bank of
Haiti. This Order froze the account of TELECO at the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York where revenues from the United States (about US$2 million a
month) were being deposited.

result of the closure of the flour mill and the cement company. Expendi-
tures fell from 5.9 percent to 3.1 percent of GDP over the period, re-
flecting a decline in current and capital spending.
The overall deficit of EDH fell by 0.5 percent of GDP to 0.4 percent
over 1991-94, reflecting mainly a decline in capital investment; the current
account balance was broadly stable at 0.4 percent of GDP (Table 20). The
operations of EDH were affected adversely by an increase in illegal connec-
tions and difficulties in revenue collections. Between 1992-94, EDH
accumulated collection arrears of about G 200 million, including G 70.6
million from the Central Government. Electricity tariffs comprise a basic
charge, which has remained fixed for several years, and a surcharge linked
to seasonal variations (associated oil import needs) and charges in oil
import costs. The average electricity tariff declined sharply in real terms
during 1991-94, reflecting a 55 perc'ent increase in the nominal tariff and
cumulative inflation of 121 percent. EDH's lab.or force rose by 14 percent
over 1991-93, fell somewhat in mid-1994 as workers left in the face of
mounting wage arrears, and then declined further as labor was laid off. The
enterprise accumulated payment arrears of about G 550 million over the
period, including to external creditors and the Central Government. Unable
to finance capital spending, faced with technical problems with respect to
thermal generation and reduced power supply as a result of the UN oil
embargo, the enterprise rationed electricity supply throughout 1991-94.
TELECO's overall balance improved by more than 1 percent of GDP to
1.5 percent of GDP in the four-year period ending 1994 (Table 21).
International operations are the main source of revenues, in particular
calls placed from the United States to Haiti (which generate revenues
averaging US$2 million a month) . As noted, the imposition of sanctions in
1991 resulted in the blocking of overseas revenues. Total revenues (on an
accrual basis) increased from 1.8 percent of GDP in 1991 to 4.5 percent in
1993, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the gourde; preliminary
estimates for 1994 suggest that revenues declined to about 3.3 percent of
GDP. I/ Total expenditure rose from 1.2 percent of GDP in 1991 to
2.3 percent in 1993 mainly as the result of additions to the labor force
(which grew from 1,478 to 2,300); total expenditure fell to 1.6 percent of
GDP in 1994 as the wage bill was reduced through cutbacks in overtime
payments (the labor force increased further to 2,357), and maintenance
expenditures. Capital expenditure remained low throughout 1991-94 and
mainly comprised the replacement of old equipment. Central bank net credit
to TELECO increased substantially over 1992-94, reflecting the blocked
access to overseas revenues.
The overall balance of APN moved from a surplus equivalent to 0.2 per-
cent of GDP in 1991 to balance in 1994 (Table 22) . Revenues declined in

delicate as most of the revenue from its international operations remained
frozen abroad.

relation to GDP as a result of the sharply reduced volume of international
trade and because nongovernmental agencies, which accounted for an in*
creasing share of imports over the period, were exempt from paying port
charges. Docking and unloading charges have remained unchanged in terms of
U.S. dollars since 1978 but have risen markedly in local currency terms,
reflecting the depreciation of the gourde; this has led to pressure from
local importers for a reduction in charges. Total expenditures remained
broadly stable in relation to GDP, as additions to the labor force (up from
1,249 in 1991 to 1,717 in 1994) were broadly offset by lower maintenance
expenditures and the absence of capital investment.
CAMEP recorded surpluses equivalent to about 0.1 percent of GDP a year
in 1991-94 (Table 23). Revenues increased steadily owing to regular adjust-
ments in water tariffs and an increase in the number of consumers. However,
revenue collection has been a serious, problem with the ratio of billings to
actual payments running at about 50 percent over the period (in particular,
the rest of the public sector built up arrears vis-a-vis CAMEP amounting to
G 1.9 million). In turn, the Water Authority accumulated payments
arrears (notably to EDH) , reduced repairs and maintenance to a minimum,
halted capital investment, and borrowed modestly from the Central Bank. The
labor force remained relatively stable over the period and capital
investment was negligible.
In 1992-93, the flour mill (La Minoterie) and cement factory (Le Ciment
DrHaiti) were closed because of serious financial and technical difficulties
(although wages continued to be paid for some time after closure) (Tables 24
and 25).
IV. Financial Intermediation
1. Institutional arrangements
The banking system in Haiti comprises the Central Bank (Banque de la
Republique d'Haiti, BRH), a state-owned commercial bank (Banque Nationale de
Credit, BNC), six locally incorporated commercial banks, and three branches
of foreign banks. I/ Banking is highly concentrated in the Port-au-Prince
area with 18 out of a total of 29 branches of commercial banks located in or
around the capital city. Only the BNC has the majority of its branches in
other parts of the country. The BNC was once the largest bank within the
commercial banking sector but has lost ground to the private commercial
I/ The three foreign banks are: Bank of Boston, Bank of Nova Scotia, and
Citibank. A fourth, the Banque Nationale de Paris, was taken over in 1994
by Promobanque, a newly formed locally incorporated bank. The other locally
incorporated banks are Banque Populaire Haitienne, Banque de L'Union
d'Haiti, Banque Industrielle et Commerciale d'Haiti, Banque Commerciale
d'Haiti, and Sogebank. Two additional locally incorporated banks--
Socabanque and Metrobanque--are to begin operations in 1995.
- 10 -
banks in recent years. In September 1994, it was the*second largest bank in
terms of deposits from the private sector (accounting for 18.5 percent of
total deposits) and the third most important in terms of credit extended to
the private sector (accounting for about 14 percent of total credit
extended) . \J
Outside of the banking system there are three small development insti-
tutions 2/ and two mortgage banks. 3/ The credit operations of the de-
velopment institutions are financed largely with external support; loans are
mainly to individual entrepreneurs and small businesses and farmers who face
difficulties in obtaining credit from the commercial banks.
2. Banking system operations
During 1991-93, the rapid growth of banking system liabilities to the
private sector facilitated strong credit expansion and an accumulation of
net foreign assets of US$27 million. This trend was reversed in 1994 when
the growth of credit outpaced the increase in financial resources and the
net foreign assets of the banking system fell by US$9.7 million (Tables 26
and 27).
The annual rate of growth of broad money increased from 13.4 percent in
1991 to 35.4 percent in 1993, rising sharply in relation to nominal GDP
(Table 28). A shift in the composition of broad money toward currency-in.
circulation and savings deposits occurred partly as the result of an active
policy by the commercial banks to discourage interest-bearing deposits in
the face of low credit demand by the private sector. A stronger preference
for liquid assets during a period of political uncertainty and instability
also may have contributed to the shift in the structure of financial
savings. In 1994 the growth of broad money decelerated to 11.8 percent,
possibly reflecting the sharp fall in real incomes and interest rates.
a. The Central Bank
The operations of the monetary authorities in 1991-94 were dominated by
a strong expansion of credit to the public sector and an associated loss of
I/ Sogebank was the largest commercial bank in terms of deposits and
loans outstanding in 1994.
2/ These are the Bureau de Credit Agricole (BCA), the Societe Financiere
Haitienne de Developement (SOFHIDES), and the Ponds de Developement
Industriel (FDI) . A fourth institution, the Banque Nationale de
Developement Agricole et Industriel, was closed in 1988 and has been in the
process of liquidation since then.
I/ These are the Banque Credit Immobilier (BCI), which started operations
at the end of 1986, and Sogebel which is a subsidiary of Sogebank and began
operations early in 1989. The mortgage banks are not permitted to accept
demand deposits.
- 11 -
net international reserves. The annual growth rate of currency in circula-
tion averaged 26.2 percent over the period compared to an average of
41.4 percent for net domestic assets. I/ The strong expansion of net
domestic assets mainly reflected lending to the Central Government and
public enterprise sector which was confronted with a sharp reduction in cash
revenue. The resulting loss of net official reserves was US$53 million
(Table 29).
b . The conrcnercial banks
In sharp contrast, the growth of commercial bank liabilities exceeded
the increase in their net domestic assets throughout 1991-94. During this
period, liabilities to the private sector grew at an annual average rate of
19 percent. Nearly 30 percent of this growth was reflected in a buildup of
net claims on the Central Bank and nearly 37 percent in increases in net
domestic assets. The balance represented a marked strengthening of the net
foreign assets position of the commercial banks from US$35.5 million at
end-1991 to US$84.3 million at end-1994. The limited expansion of commer-
cial banks' net domestic assets mainly reflected weak credit demand from the
private sector which declined from 50 percent of liabilities to the private
sector at the beginning of the period to 39.9 percent at the end (Tables 29
and 30).
To reduce the cost of funds in light of low private sector credit
demand, some banks became reluctant to accept higher interest -bear ing time
deposits during the period; this encouraged a shift in financial savings by
the public toward cash and savings deposits (which bear negative real
interest rates).
3 . Instruments of monetary policy
a. Interest rates
Interest rates in Haiti have been deregulated substantially in recent
years. In December 1989 the ceilings imposed by the Central Bank on
interest rates that commercial banks could pay on deposits or charge on
loans were eliminated; however, maximum interest rates remain constrained by
a legal limit of 22 percent. In February 1992 the Central Bank removed the
floor on commercial bank deposit rates. Interest rates generally declined
following the deregulation (more so in the case of deposit rates) and became
substantially negative after 1992 as inflation increased markedly
(Table 31).
i/ Measured in relation to the stock of liabilities to the private sector
at the beginning of the period.

b. Reserve requirements
Commercial banks and mortgage banks are required to hold legal reserves
in the form of currency or deposits at the Central Bank; with the exception
of a brief period in 1992, required reserves are not remunerated. The
reserve requirement is calculated on a daily basis and the comparison
between actual and required reserves is carried out on the basis of weekly
averages. A penalty rate of 1/10 of 1 percent per day is charged on
shortfalls from actual reserves. Different reserve ratios are applied to
each of the main categories of deposits (73.5 percent on demand deposits,
46 percent on savings deposits, 20 percent on time deposits, and zero on
foreign currency deposits). In addition, reserve ratios differ according to
type of financial institution, being substantially higher on the deposits of
commercial banks than of the mortgage banks (Table 32).
Reserve requirements were changed on several occasions during 1990-94
for monetary control purposes and to assist in the financing of the public
sector deficit. The average required reserve ratio rose from 42 percent of
total deposits at end-1991 to 44.6 percent at end-1994 (Table 33). During a
six-month period from June 15, 1992 the Central Bank imposed a secondary
reserve requirement on commercial bank deposits (of 8 percent on demand and
5 percent on savings deposits) which were remunerated at an annual interest
rate of 5 percent. Mainly reflecting the adverse impact of remuneration on
the Central Bank's financial position, at the end of the period the second-
ary and primary reserve requirements were merged and the practice of paying
interest ceased. The size of the reserve requirement, and the fact that it
is not remunerated, contributes to a substantial spread between commercial
bank lending and deposit rates (see Table 31). In spite of the high level
of required reserves, the commercial banks built up excess reserves in 1994
equivalent to 5.6 percent of total deposits.
c. Other instruments
The Central Bank has a rediscount facility and a lending facility for
the commercial banks. Neither of these facilities has been used to any
considerable extent in recent years partly because bank liquidity has been
plentiful and an active inter-bank market exists. In addition, use of the
rediscount facility has been limited by a lack of eligible paper to
rediscount, and use of the lending facility has been limited by the rela-
tively high interest rate charged (usually the legal maximum of 22 percent)
and low legal limits (related to bank capital) on the amounts the commercial
banks can borrow.
Currency issue by the Central Bank is limited by law. In recent years,
the ceiling imposed by the law has been raised to meet the financing
requirements of the public sector and in response to currency hoarding by
the general public. The law was suspended on July 14, 1994 pending a
decision by Parliament on whether to revise or abolish it. Central Bank
credit to the Central Government is limited by law to 20 percent of the
previous year's fiscal revenue and each budget should stipulate a limit for
- 13 -
the current fiscal year; in practice these requirements have not been
adhered to in recent years.
V. External Sector
1. Overall trends
Haiti's external position deteriorated sharply following the imposition
of the economic sanctions by the international community. The overall
balance of payments shifted from a surplus of US$13 million in 1991 to
deficits averaging US$17 million per year in 1992-94, with these deficits
reflecting the decline in net capital inflows after 1991 (Table 34) . While
the current account deficit (before grants) in relation to GDP was contained
at its 1991 level due to a severe import contraction, the capital account
deteriorated substantially as a result of the suspension of all but humani-
tarian foreign aid and outflows of private capital. I/ The overall defi-
cits were financed by the accumulation of external payments arrears, in-
cluding to multilateral creditors. As at end-September 1994, the stock of
arrears was US$121 million, of which US$78 million was owed to the Fund,
World Bank, and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) combined;
US$40 million was owed to bilateral creditors (mainly the United States,
Argentina, and Venezuela); and US$3 million was owed to IFAD and the OPEC
Fund combined. By accumulating external arrears in 1991-94, the Central
Bank was able to build up official foreign reserves which were used to meet
oil import payments; at end-1994, gross official reserves stood at just five
weeks of imports (Table 35).
In September 1991, the authorities unified the dual exchange system
thus allowing the exchange rate to be market determined. Exchange market
pressures caused the gourde to lose two thirds of its 1991 value in foreign
currency terms during 1992-94, reaching G 15 per U.S. dollar as at end-
September 1994. After the return of President Aristide and resumption of
foreign aid in October 1994, the exchange rate appreciated to G 12.95 per
U.S. dollar at end-December 1994. Throughout the period, the trade regime
was highly protectionist with tariff rates up to 57 percent which contrib-
uted to and smuggling.
2. Current account
On average during 1992-94, the current account deficit (before grants)
was contained at 8.2 percent of GDP per year compared to 8.8 percent in
1991. With the terms of trade decline averaging less than 2 percent a year
I/ Foreign trade statistics are staff estimates based on the U.S. customs
record of trade between the United States and Haiti, the latter's largest
trade partner. Reliance on partner country data is due to the fact that the
Haitian Customs Administration stopped producing foreign trade statistics in
1990.
- 14 -
in 1991-94, the narrowing of the trade deficit reflected primarily the re-
duction in import volume after 1991 (Table 36) . The deficit on the services
account narrowed as the result of the sharp drop in service payments related
to imports which more than compensated for the decline in tourist receipts.
Substantial remittances from Haitians living abroad also helped to contain
the current account deficit.
a- Merchandise trade
Recorded export receipts fell from US$202 million in 1991 to US$57
million in 1994 mainly as the result of the collapse of the assembly sector
(e.g., clothing, electrical machinery, footwear) because of restricted
access to the United States market (Tables 37 to 39) . I/ After the sanc-
tions were applied in October 1991, exports of light manufactures fell
considerably in the following year; sanctions were eased in 1992 which
resulted in the partial recovery of the assembly sector in 1993; with the
imposition of the total trade embargo in May 1994 assembly sector activity
virtually ceased.
Agricultural exports fell sharply in 1991-94 mainly reflecting the drop
in coffee export receipts (these had accounted for 60 percent of agricul-
tural exports and 8 percent of total export earnings in 1991). Coffee
export volume dropped by one third over the period to 108,000 tons; as no
shipments took place after May 1994 Haiti benefitted little from the
recovery of international coffee prices in that year. Export volume of
sisal products dropped by an annual average of 25 percent in 1992-94. Mango
exports, which had emerged as the second largest agricultural export in
1991, virtually stopped during 1992-94 reflecting the loss of the U.S.
market. Sugar exports ceased altogether in 1992 with the closure of the
sugar factory.
Recorded imports dropped to less than one third of their 1991 level,
reaching US$183 million only in 1994 (Table 40) . With the exception of food
imports, which rose from US$83 million in 1991 to US$114 million a year in
1992-94, all major categories of imports fell sharply over the period. The
increase in food imports reflected humanitarian assistance and that imports
of rice, beans, wheat, flour, and cooking oil were exempted from trade sanc-
tions .
In spite of declining import volume, the petroleum import bill rose by
10 percent per annum in 1992-93; the preferential price for Venezuelan oil
under the San Jose Pact was terminated in 1991 (which compelled Haiti to
purchase oil on the spot market) and freight and insurance costs increased
during the embargo. The petroleum import bill declined sharply in 1994 as
import volume dropped by nearly one third due to the blockade of Haitian
ports. Intermediate and capital good imports fell from US$71 million in
I/ These products enter the U.S. market under special tariff provisions
that provide for reduced customs duties. See SM/91/129, page 46.
- 15 -
1991 to US$10 million in 1994 mainly because of the cessation of foreign-aid
financed projects. Imports of consumer and other manufactured goods fell
sharply in the face of the large drop in real incomes. The volume of
manufactured imports fell by more than 50 percent in 1991-92, recovered
somewhat in 1993, but fell again in 1994 (Table 35).
b. Services
The deficit on services narrowed from US$112 million in 1991 to average
US$65 million a year in 1992-94. The decline resulted from the sharp con-
traction of import volume, only partly offset by higher premia for freight
and insurance due to the embargo. Interest obligations on public external
debt remained close to their 1991 level, averaging US$10 million a year in
1992-94. By 1994 service receipts totalled only one tenth of their 1991
level, reflecting the drop in net travel receipts from US$40 million in 1991
to US$23 million in 1993 and only US$5 million in 1994 (as airlines
discontinued their flights to Haiti). The number of stay-over visitors, who
generate more than 90 percent of travel receipts, fell from nearly 150,000
in 1991 to 82,000 in 1992 and was negligible over the following two years.
c. Transfers
Recorded private transfers are mainly remittances from Haitians living
abroad; these remittances averaged about US$72 million a year in 1991-93 but
fell to US$43 million in 1994 following the decision by the United States to
prohibit private cash transfers in excess of US$50 per person. Public
transfers fell dramatically over 1991-94 as major donors suspended all
foreign aid to Haiti after the coup (Table 41). The United States, which
accounted for nearly 60 percent (US$31 million) of total grants received,
provided humanitarian assistance under food relief programs for children and
other targeted groups in distress, and funds for the protection of the
environment, health programs, and governance; I/ the European Union
provided US$12 million for regular and emergency food assistance and for
medical supplies; and Canada provided US$9 million for food aid and health
programs. Humanitarian assistance rose to US$112 million in 1994, reflecting
a 50 percent increase in the U.S. aid flows (to US$74 million); this amount
included food aid (US$42 million) and health care and prevention assistance
(US$15 million).
3. Capital account
There was no foreign borrowing by the public sector during 1991-94
(Table 42) . Petroleum imports were settled through cash payments made by
the Central Bank. Private outflows, especially through the commercial
banks, contributed to the weakening of the capital account during the
I/ U.S. AID broadened its definition of humanitarian assistance to
include job creation programs, support to democratic institutions and to
small private businesses.
- 16 -
embargo period, notably in 1993 when they reached US$31 million or nearly
twice the 1991 level.
4. External public debt
Total external debt in relation to GDP rose from 26 percent (US$837
million) to 53 percent of GDP (US$866 million) in 1994; debt-service
obligations over the same period rose from 11 percent of exports of goods
and services to 56 percent (Tables 42 to 45). I/ The stock of debt re-
mained broadly stable in U.S. dollar terms over the period, the increase in
relation to GDP mainly reflecting the depreciation of the gourde; the sharp
increase in the debt ratio mainly reflected the decline in export receipts
and the increase in debt-service obligations to the Fund. At end-September
1994 external arrears amounted to US$121 million (15 percent of total
external debt) (Table 46); two thirds of these arrears were accumulated vis-
a-vis the Fund, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank and
were cleared in November 1994.
The bulk of the external debt outstanding at end-1994 was owed to
official creditors and had been contracted on concessional terms; however,
US$562 million (70 percent of the total) was owed to official multilateral
creditors. The World Bank group is Haiti's largest creditor with total
outstanding loan disbursements amounting to US$340 million as of end-
September 1994.
5. Exchange and trade system 2/
a. Exchange system
The official parity of the Haitian gourde (G) is defined in terms of
the SDR. The U.S. dollar is the intervention currency and is generally
accepted in Haiti as a means of payment. On September 16, 1991 the Central
Bank ceased all operations at the official rate of G 5 per U.S. dollar which
had lasted for more than 70 years. A parallel market had emerged and the
spread between the official and the free market rate widened substantially
from 10 percent in 1987 to 53 percent in 1991. It unified the exchange
system at the freely floating rate which at that time was about G 7.50 per
U.S. dollar and began using the "Taux de Reference11 (TR) as the official
rate of the gourde against the U.S, dollar. The TR is calculated daily as a
weighted average of the "Taux du March6 Informel" (TMI) (the free market
exchange rate) and the inter-bank rate, with these rates having a weight of
30 percent and 70 percent, respectively. The inter-bank rate is calculated
as the midpoint of the buying and selling rates of commercial banks.
Between January and September 1994, the spread between the TR and TMI has
I/ In 1991 France and the United States canceled US$50 million and US$113
million, respectively, of debt owed to them by Haiti.
2/ For a detailed description of the exchange and trade system, see the
1990 Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions.
- 17 -
remained stable and below 2 percent; the spread ranged from a low of
0.1 percent at end-February to a high of 1.15 percent at end-June.
Following the exchange system unification, the 40 percent export
surrender requirement was retained, but effected at the TR. A surrender
requirement was applied to the Transfer Houses such that any balance over
US$20,000 accumulated at the end of each week had to be sold in the inter-
bank market or to the Central Bank at the TR.
b. Trade system
The trade system remained largely unchanged during 1992-94. I/ Its
main features included high tariff rates (e.g., 57 percent for petroleum
products, 50 percent for rice, 40 percent for agricultural products such as
sugar) and numerous exemptions (of the 2,000 tariff classifications, 631
were tariff exempt) . In 1994 quantitative restrictions still applied for
seven products (rice, maize, sugar, beans, millet, chicken as well as pork
parts), although these restrictions were enforced loosely. Customs duties
were assessed at an exchange rate of G 6.5 per U.S. dollar, well below the
prevailing market exchange rate during 1992-94.

\/ These data are somewhat imprecise. Crop estimates made by experts from bilateral aid donors,
international organizations, and private consultants often differ sharply from those of the Ministry of
Agriculture. Some of the difficulties in estimation arise from the lack of qualified field personnel, but
estimation is also handicapped by the widespread occurrence of intercropping and variability of yields.
Estimation is particularly difficult for crops that are consumed directly by the peasant producer. The
last years have exacerbated all those difficulties.
