IMF Staff Country Reports

Haiti continues to face exceptional challenges amid a deteriorating security
environment and institutional fragility. Gang violence has intensified, undermining
state authority and disrupting economic activity. Uncertainty persists over the political
transition and the feasibility of holding general elections in 2026. The United Nations
Security Council’s authorization to deploy a new Gang Suppression Force and the
establishment of a United Nations Support Office for Haiti mark a potential turning point
for the country, though security gains will take time to materialize and will require
international support.
