Haiti’s economy shrank for the 11th time in 12 quarters in January–March, remaining paralyzed by gang violence. That said, the economy started to show signs of recovery in April–June, according to the Central Bank’s latest monetary policy report. Data from ACLED, a think tank, estimates that the number of violent events in the country fell 60% from the prior quarter; this, along with the reopening of the port and airport in Port-au-Prince, strengthened the mobility of people and goods. Turning to July–September, the arrival of Kenyan police officers appeared to bolster security further, with the number of violent events falling by a further 13% from Q2. That said, economic and political stability remains far off: Land access to the capital’s main port was blocked in late September, with the Prime Minister stating shortly afterward that “we are nowhere near winning” the war with gangs.
