Haiti; Selected Issues

This Selected Issues paper reviews key trends in Haitiâ€™s fiscal performance over the past decade and discusses various options for strengthening the fiscal system. It suggests that a key challenge will be to generate adequate resources to support development, which requires an increase in outlays on social programs, security, and infrastructure investment to at least the levels observed in other low-income countries. The paper reviews revenue trends and key features of the tax system. It also illustrates that Haitiâ€™s public sector employment is far smaller than in other countries.
