Alix Didier Fils-Aimé Bets on Investment to Revive the Economy and Stabilize the Country

Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé on Monday reaffirmed his government’s determination to make private and international investment the engine of the country’s economic recovery, at the opening of the first National Investment Forum. Focused on economic mobilization, the ceremony brought together several members of the executive, representatives of Haiti’s private sector and international partners, including the European Union, France and Spain.

European Union Ambassador Hélène Roos welcomed the initiative, noting that the Global Gateway strategy aims to help build a “safer, more stable and more prosperous” Haiti, notably through targeted investment in governance, security and infrastructure. In his speech, the head of government stressed the need to create a business-friendly climate despite a context marked by heavy security and economic challenges. He highlighted several priority sectors: infrastructure, ports, airports and logistics, as well as agriculture and agribusiness.

“The time has come to invest in Haiti’s resilience, in its youth and in its capacity to produce,” the prime minister said, calling for greater mobilization of domestic and foreign investors. Finally, the head of government reiterated that restoring security remains, in his view, the essential condition for economic recovery and democratic consolidation, while reaffirming the executive’s commitment to preparing the ground for the next elections.
