Haiti GDP Annual Growth Rate
Haiti is one of the poorest and most politically unstable countries in the Caribbean. The devastating earthquake in 2010 caused damages in excess of 150 percent of GDP and destroyed most of the infrastructure. More than 80 percent of the population lives in poverty and the country relies heavily on remittances and foreign aid. The most important sector of the economy is substance agriculture which employs over 40 percent of the labour force. Despite having one the lowest trade tariffs in the Caribbean and a preferential trade agreement with the United States, Haiti failed to boost its trade due to lack of infrastructure and bureaucracy. Furthermore, the lack of a functioning legal system and endemic corruption make foreign investors reluctant to set up companies.
