Info About Rene Preval As President Of Haiti From 1996 To 2001

In 1996, Rene Préval was elected as President of the Republic of Haiti, His first term.

Rene Préval became the second democratically elected head of state in the country's two-hundred-year history.

In 2001, Rene Préval became the first President of Haiti ever to leave office as a result of the natural expiration of his term.

As president Préval instituted a number of economic reforms, most notably the privatization of various government companies.

Some have suggested that these privatizations were a result of Préval bowing to the pressure exerted on him by external entities including the IMF.

Lowest Unemployent Rate since...

The unemployment rate (though still quite high) had fallen to its lowest level since the fall of Duvalier by the end of Préval's term.

This trend toward a decreasing unemployment rate continued during the subsequent tenure of Aristide until the 2004 coup.

As president, Préval was a strong supporter of investigations and trials related to human rights violations committed by military and police personnel.
