New Haitian Prime Minister Vows to Further Haiti's Pro-Business Stance

Local Business Community Committed to Support Government's Effort to Stimulate Investment Opportunities

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newly appointed Haitian Prime Minister and renowned economist Jean-Max Bellerive today vowed to not only maintain, but further Haiti's pro-business stance, as the country looks to capitalize on both the domestic as well as international outpouring of business interests looking at investment opportunities in Haiti.

"Our business community is pleased to see that Mr. Bellerive's focus will be to continue furthering the pro-business direction encouraged by President René Préval," says Youri Mevs, President of the newly-formed Haitian Economic Development Foundation.

"Humanitarian assistance to our country is indeed crucial, but expansion of the business sector in order to create jobs is the long-term solution that will most impact the future of our people."

Haiti has recently seen an up-swell in both domestic and international investments, with organizations such as Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines increasing their visibility on the island and announcements from local major enterprises such as WIN Group, which in coordination with the Soros Economic Development Fund, plans to build a $45 million new Free Zone.
