Key Findings
Full Description

The seventh review of Haiti's performance under the ECF arrangement indicates satisfactory progress in macroeconomic stability and structural reforms. Key findings include strengthened growth, decreased headline inflation, and adequate gross international reserves. However, the overall fiscal deficit widened due to increased investment spending and electricity sector subsidies. The review recommends continued prudent monetary policy, fiscal balance stabilization, and structural reforms in public financial management, international reserve management, and the electricity sector. The report also highlights the need for increased domestic revenue mobilization, expenditure containment, and improved governance to support sustainable growth and debt management.
