Haiti - Country Economic Memorandum: Options and Opportunities for Inclusive Growth

This report is focused on a select list of cross-sectoral binding constraints to growth and poverty reduction which also constitute the minimum functions that a state must fulfill to provide its basic, pure public goods. This means only that these constraints and these functions require priority attention, not that they should be addressed to the exclusion of others that are more sector specific. Indeed, policies aimed at improving additional aspects of the climate for private sector activity in agriculture, manufacturing and services, as well as enhancing the provision of other social services, will need to be implemented, once the critical bottlenecks identified above have started to be tackled.
