PRESENT ECONOMIC HISTORY OF HAITI

Haiti remains the least-developed country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world.

Comparative social and economic indicators show Haiti is falling behind other low-income developing countries (particularly in the hemisphere) since the 1980s.

Haiti now ranks 150th of 175 countries in the UN's Human Development Index.

Haiti's economic stagnation is the result of earlier inappropriate economic plans, political instability, a shortage of good arable land, environmental deterioration, continued reliance on traditional technologies, under-capitalization and lack of public investment in human resources, migration of large portions of the skilled population, a weak national savings rate, and the lack of a functioning funding system to run the government.

Haiti's debt to international financial institutions and foreign governments has grown from $302 million in 1980 to $1.134 billion today.

About 40 percent of this debt stems from loans to the brutal Duvalier dictators, who invested little of it in our country.
