I. BACKGROUND
1.1 Haiti is a small and densely populated country located on the west
side of the island of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean sea. Its 6.2 million
inhabitants occupy 28,000 km
2
(over 200 inhabitants per ki
2
). With a 1988
GNP per capita of only US$360,1 Haiti is the poorest country in Latin
America and the Caribbean and one of the poorest in the world. Social
indicators reflect the overall poverty of the country: 702 of its urban
population and 802 of its rural population are below the poverty line,
infant mortality stands at 114 deaths per thousand births and 65X of its
adult population does not know how to read or write. The country's
population grows at 1.7Z per annum. Migration from rural areas has
propelled urban population growth to 4? per year. Family planning efforts,
largely by NGO's, have not had a major impact in arresting population
growth below current levels. The unemployment rate is high, 25%-302 of the
labor force.
1.2 Three fourths of Haitians live in rural areas. Total agricultural
output, however, has increased little since the early 1970's, and
production per capita has fallen steadily as population pressures have led
farmers to cultivate marginal hillside lands. The shortage of land,
coupled with insecurity in land tenure arrangements and increased demand
for wood as a source of energy, have led to severe deforestation and soil
erosion. Over the last three decades, output and employment have shifted
toward the urban sector and agriculture now accounts for 25Z of GDP
compared to 50? in the early 19509.
1.3 In the second half of the 19709, real economic growth, averaging
over 5S per annum, resulted in rising per capita income for the country's
population. Economic growth was fueled by increasing public investment
financed from abroad on highly concessional terms and by a major expansion
in export assembly industries--oriented to the U.S. market--that were
internationally competitive on the basis of Haiti's low wages. However,
Haiti's export base is narrow and the country is highly vulnerable to
external shocks. Assembly industries produce a limited range of products
(electronics, clothing and sporting goods); yet, they account for over 60?
of merchandise exports. Coffee, which accounts for about 20? of
merchandise exports, is subject to fluctuations in international demand and
prices and to changing weather conditions. Tourism has declined as a
consequence of adverse publicity concerning health risks and political
unrest.
1.4 Despite the relative openness of the economy (both exports and
imports of goods represent about 652 of GDP), the country's trade regime
became a source of inequities in income distribution as well as
inefficiencies in resource allocation. Protective barriers (tariff and
non-tariff) resulted in increased monopoly powers for domestic producers,
and in the case of some commodities, the virtually open contraband
activities created large economic rents.

II. RCENIT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS THROUGH FY96/87
2.1 During 7Y8O181-FY84185, Haiti pursued policies that led to an
inequitable and inefficient economy. Fiscal policy was excessively
expansive and the public sector undertook expenditures that were either
uneconomic or unaccounted for. The trade regime was characterized by
export taxes, excise duties, import quotas and prohibitions, which resullted
in an overly protected economy. These policies reduced economic welfare
for a majority of the population. Agricultural and industrial production
decreased: unemployment and inflation increased. During this period, the
deficit of the consolidated public sector averaged 9? of GDP white that of
thp current account of the balance of payments averaged 82 of GDP.
International reserves, on average, decreased at a rate of US$22 million
per annum.
2.2 During March 1986 to November 1987, the Government introduced sound
policies. Public expenditures were reduced by two percentage points of GDP
and reallocated to favor education and health. The public investment
program focused on the completion of ongoing projects. Taxes were reduced
by the equivalent of two percentage points of GDP, and reforms were
introduced to simplify the tax system, lower its high marginal rates, and
strengthen tax administration. The Government's debt to the domestic
banking system was reduced. Trade monopolies, public and private, were
dismantled to foster competition. Two out of five industrial public
enterprises were closed down, and the Government initiated the
rationalization of two more. Several measures were introduced as part of a
trade reform: (i) quantitative restrictions oa imports were eliminated for
942 of the items affected by those restrictions, such imports representing
more than 802 of total imports; (ii) specific import duties were replaced
by ad-valorem (oness (iii) protection levels were reduced; and (iv) export
taxes on a number of agricultural goods (coffee, cacao and sisal) were
eliminated.
2.3 The above policy measures yielded the results shown in Table 1
below:

2.4 The momentum of the original economic reforms was lost, however,
because of a number of political crises that unfolded in the second half of
1987. Economic developments from 1988 on have been characterized by work
stoppages, investors' uncertainty, shortfalls in public revenues, and the
suspension of vital external assistance.
2.5 In FY88/89, Haiti's real GDP is estimated to have declined by
1.5S; per capita GDP is estimated to have declined by more than one
percentage point. Although the service sectors improved their economic
performance, their growth was not sufficient to offset the decline in value
added in agriculture for a third consecutive year. Consumption and
investment activities also declined. Consumer prices rose by 15? in the
twelve-month period ending September 1989, up from about 9.52 a year
earlier. At the same time, the premium on the U.S. dollar in the parallel
market rose from about 20? in September 1988 to over 352 in September 1989.
2.6 The public sector accounts registered further deterioration in
FY88/89 compared to FY87/88. Although the overall public sector deficit
(before grants) remained constant as a percent of GDP (5.72), the
composition of its financing changed in FY88189: external sources
accounted only for a fourth of the financing of the deficit. In FY87188,
external sources accounted for almost a third of the requisite external
financing. Moreover, in FY88/89 both total public sector receipts and
expenditures decreased by almost 1Z of GDP each.
2.7 The balance of payments also recorded a further deterioration in
the country's external financial position in FY88/89 relative to the
FYB7/88. The value of both exports and imports of goods and services
decreased. Exports of goods and services decreased from 152 of GDP in
FY87/88 to 12? of GDP in PY88/89. By the same token, imports of goods and
services declined from 272 of GDP in FY87188, to 232 of GDP in FY88189.
The resource gap shifted from a negative 122 of GDP in FY87188 to a
negative 112 of GDP in FY88/89.
2.8 Net transfers accounted for 102 of GDP in FY87/88 and 8Z in
FY88/89. As a result, the current account deficit of the balance of
payments deteriorated from 2? of GDP in FY87/88 to 5? in FY88/89. Capital
movements resulted in net inflows in both fiscal years: 32 of GDP in
FY87/88 and 22 in FY88/89.
2.9 To correct the above imbalances, the Government adopted an
economic program for FY89/90 in an effort to reduce inflationary pressures,
strengthen the balance of payments, and help reverse the decline in
investment and economic activity. The program calls for an improvement in
the public sector's savings performance and a reduction in its overall
deficit to 4.5? of GDP in FY89190. The domestic financing requirement
would be lowered to no more than 0.62 of GDP.

2.10 On September 18, 1989, after Haiti had cleared its arrearo to the
IMF, the IMF's Executive Board approved a 15-month Stand-by arrangement for
SDR 21 million. Upon approval, Haiti purchased the first credit tranche,
SDR 11 million, and has made one purchase available since then, SDR 2
million, based on the observance of performance criteria at the end of
September 1989.
2.11 As part of its economic program, the Government has already
undertaken a number of revenue measures which have yielded almost 1X of
GDP. It has also introduced new controls in the public enterprises
(including their wage bill), and has raised wheatflour and millfeed prices.
The Government also liberalized intereet rates by removing the ceiling on
deposits and lending rates, and excess bank liquidity was reduced by an
increase in the reserve requirement (from 37Z to close to 442). The
Government also authorized commercial banks and most exchange houses to
operate freely in the parallel market and reduced the surrender requirement
for export receipts at the official exchange rate from 5OZ to 401. At the
same time, commercial banks were authorized to accept deposits in foreign
currency.
III. PUBLIC SECTOR INVESTMENT AND EXTERNAL FINANCING RBQUIRDRNTSS
A. Public Sector Investment
3.1 Disbursements under the FY90191 Public Sector Investment Program
(PSIP) are estimated to amount to US$361 million. Total commitments for
the proposed FY90/91 program are estimated to amount to US$393 million.
Proposed projects in the FY90/91 program emphasize rehabilitation of
existing facilities, labor intensive projects to help address Haiti's
chronic unemployment situation, projects complementary with private sector
activities and projects requiring limited recurrent and counterpart
funding. Specific projects in the agriculture sector include integrated
rural development in two agricultural areas of Anse-a-Pitre and Plateau
Central and improving cocoa and coffee production for exports. Projects in
the industrial sector are aimed at efficiency improvements at two key
public enterprises. Projects in the infrastructure sectors includse the
rehabilitation of roads, power sub-stations, water supply and
telecommunication systems. Projects in the health sector include the
rehabiliation of the hospitals at Bon Repos and Martissant to help relieve
the overcrowding at the university hospital in Pore-au-Prince and the
institution of a medical emergency program to help cut down on preventable
traffic deaths.
B. External Financing Requirements
3.2 The financing requirements for the PSIP are estimated to amount
US$361 million during FY90/91-FY91/92. Scheduled amortizations are
projected to be US$39 million during the two years. Public sector savings
are projected to provide US$63 million, while net domestic credit is
projected to finance US$25 million. Scheduled disbursements under external
commitments (loans and grants) for ongoing projects would provide US$145
million. A financing gap for the two years of about US$167 million would
-5-
remain, for which external donors have been identified for disbursements
amounting to US$5 millio&. External donors are being sought for
commitments which would disburse the difference, US$162 million.
