- Energy sector 13. The Haitian authorities remain mindful that an orderly reduction of the Treasury’s subsidies to the public utility company Electricité d’Haïti (EDH) is imperative. With the ensuing savings, fiscal space will be generated for social expenditures and the funding of job creation and growth enhancing projects. However, they are also conscious that the strengthening of EDH’s financial situation and production capacity will occur only gradually. Hence, the government adopted a set of measures to phaseout the subsidies and achieve sustainable financial soundness at EDH. The phasing out of budget transfers to EDH has been initiated with a target date of 2016 for complete elimination. An MOU was also signed between EDH and the MEF at end2012.

- Statement by Mr. Nogueira Batista, Executive Director for Haiti, Ms. Florestal, Government-Provided Advisor, and Mr. Robergeau, Government-Provided Advisor March 11, 2013 1. During the period under review Haiti suffered two new natural disasters (a hurricane and a spring drought). Although there have been significant improvements in disaster preparedness and risk management, the country remains very vulnerable to these shocks. Scarce public resources had to be reallocated to emergency responses, including those related to spikes in cholera infection. Damages in the agricultural sector led to significant material losses with ensuing pressures on imports and prices. The deceleration of exports and the shrinking of agricultural output led to a slowdown in GDP growth.

- The recovery is expected to be firmer in FY2013 and medium-term prospects are promising, albeit with serious downside risks. Growth is projected to accelerate to 6.5 percent in 2013, assuming a pickup in reconstruction and a rebound in agriculture. Inflation should remain stable, in the mid-single digits. In the medium term, maturing ongoing agricultural and industrial projects and persistence in efforts to improve the business environment will help sustain growth and strengthen the external position. However, a worsening in global economic conditions, continued weak capacity, heightened domestic political and social tensions- fueled by pervasive poverty and lack of progress in improving living standards- and natural disasters could impede the fragile recovery and constrain Haiti’s growth prospects.
