Prime Minister Conille's Summit: Charting a Path Towards Economic Resilience

by Widdlyn Raymond


In the hallowed halls of governance, a crucial rendezvous unfolded on Friday, May 7th, 2024, as Prime Minister Garry Conille convened with representatives from diverse employer associations within Haiti's private business sector. Against the backdrop of pervasive insecurity and its deleterious ramifications on economic activities, the summit emerged as a pivotal forum for candid dialogue and collective action.

The specter of insecurity looms large, casting a shadow over Haiti's economic landscape and exacting a heavy toll on businesses of all sizes. From the scourge of violence perpetrated by armed groups to the insidious menace of corruption and smuggling, the challenges confronting the nation are manifold and multifaceted. At the heart of the discussions lay a sober acknowledgment of the humanitarian crisis precipitated by the escalating violence, underscoring the urgent imperative for concerted intervention.

Prime Minister Conille delineated a multifaceted strategy aimed at addressing the root causes of insecurity while fostering an environment conducive to sustainable economic growth. Central to this vision is the institutionalization of a robust and enduring partnership between the government and the private sector—a partnership grounded in mutual trust, shared objectives, and a commitment to collaborative problem-solving.

The meeting served as a crucible for dialogue, as stakeholders deliberated on a spectrum of issues ranging from security reforms to the impending entry into effect of the Tax Code. Dr. Conille, articulated the main priorities of his forthcoming government, emphasizing the imperative of coordinated action with the CPT (Transitional Presidential Council) to restore law and order and implement a comprehensive humanitarian response plan.

Crucially, Prime Minister Conille underscored his vision for the institutionalization of a dedicated platform for ongoing engagement and consultation between the state and the business community. This envisioned space—a forum for dialogue, deliberation, and decision-making—will serve as a conduit for identifying and addressing the concerns and challenges articulated by all stakeholders, fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration.

As the summit drew to a close, a sense of cautious optimism permeated the atmosphere—a recognition that while the road ahead may be fraught with challenges, the collective commitment to forging a path towards economic resilience remains unwavering. Prime Minister Conille's clarion call for unity and partnership resonates as a beacon of hope in Haiti's journey towards a more secure, prosperous, and equitable future.
