MIAMI, FL - In his first official visit to South Florida since becoming Haiti's prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive said Tuesday that Haiti is working to lower fees needed to invest in his country.

"It costs too much to invest in Haiti today" Bellerive told The Miami Herald.

"We have to lower the cost of the transactions." said the Haitian prime minister.

Bellerive's remarks came at the Caribbean-Central American Action's 33rd Miami conference at the InterContinental Hotel.

The conference ends Wednesday.

Government officials, U.S. diplomats and business leaders are meeting in downtown Miami this week to discuss rejuvenating the economy of the Caribbean and Central America.

We remain very committed as a government to putting in place good governance and the climate that can allow for competitive advantage that can be built right there in Haiti.

Bellerive, who was appointed last month, said he hopes to not only relay the message that Haiti is open for business but also that it is working to make it easier and cheaper for investors to do business.
