### Summary and purpose
- Explores Haiti’s Staff-Monitored Program (SMP).
- The SMP is a new 12-month program expected to:
  - contribute to strengthen macroeconomic stability to support well-being of people;
  - enhance economic resilience and governance;
  - anchor the government’s macroeconomic priorities for the year ahead.
- IMF management welcomes the authorities’ commitment to publish the forthcoming Governance Diagnostic Report.

### Macroeconomic context and findings
- Haiti faces a multidimensional crisis and a political transition, with a challenging outlook.
- Despite domestic and global difficulties, the authorities:
  - are firmly committed to negotiating a new SMP;
  - have managed to contain somewhat the impact of the various shocks, thereby averting even worse macroeconomic outcomes.
- Top priority identified:
  - continue to restore security — described as a prerequisite for macroeconomic stability and for allowing growth to materialize.

### Governance, reforms, and policy priorities
- Advancing governance reforms is paramount to:
  - help Haiti exit from fragility;
  - ensure inclusive growth;
  - build trust with the private sector and development partners.
- A government-led strategy to continue to strengthen the economy’s resilience to multiple shocks requires the financial support of the international community.
