      Economy Haiti

      Economy - overview:

       In this poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, 80% of the

       population lives in abject poverty. Two-thirds of all Haitians

       depend on the agriculture sector, which consists mainly of

       small-scale subsistence farming. Following legislative elections in

       May 2000, fraught with irregularities, international donors -

       including the US and EU - suspended almost all aid to Haiti. The

       economy shrank an estimated 1.2% in 2001 and an estimated 0.9% in

       2002. Suspended aid and loan disbursements totaled more than $500

       million at the start of 2003. Haiti also suffers from rampant

       inflation, a lack of investment, and a severe trade deficit. The

       resumption of aid flows from all donors will alleviate but not end

       the nation's bitter economic problems. Extensive civil strife in

       early 2004, marked by the flight of President ARISTIDE, further

       impoverished Haiti.
