This report frames Haiti’s medium-term growth prospects at a moment of rising risks. It updates recent
economic developments through mid-2026, reviews Haiti’s economic potential and constraints, and identifies
pathways to recovery. The report builds on the December 2024 Rapid Crisis Impact Assessment (RCIA),1 which
helped to quantify losses resulting from Haiti’s security and political crisis across each economic sector. This
growth report also precedes a government-led development strategy which is being prepared with support from
the same partners associated with the RCIA. It assesses current conditions and sets out high-level priorities for
recovery, while the forthcoming medium-term growth and recovery strategy will translate these into detailed
investment recommendations. Haiti’s return to growth depends less on the design of its development model than
on restoring security and a functioning state in the metropolitan area, where its economy and people remain
concentrated, even as the more stable northern and southern corridors offer the clearest near-term opportunity.
