Haiti & Debt Relief: Will Government Measure Up?

Categories: Caribbean, Haiti, Development, Economics & Business, Governance, International Relations, Law

Jojo at Collectif Haiti de Provence posts a Radio Kiskeya article on the World Bank and IMF conditions for permanent debt relief [1]for the country and writes (Fr): “The conditions for permanent debt relief are clear and precise and for once seem human … Can our compatriots once in power govern while respecting these conditions? If corruption and thievery as they stand today are no longer accepted, will as many people be interested in politics? The financial institutions should firmly threaten to sanction states, nations and banks that accept no questions asked to secret the assets of those who break the law in this area.”
