At the forum, the new Ambassador of Haiti to Mexico, Guy Lamothe [in office since October 18, 2012] and former Director of CFI, has among others put the emphasis on the areas of construction, tourism, garment and agriculture. In terms of construction, Guy Lamothe insisted on the need of Haiti : 400,000 units for the next 5 years and to medium term 3.500 hotel rooms to accommodate the tourists and invited and invited the Mexican construction sector, widely represented at the forum, to make benefit Haiti of its experience.

He recalled that the United States represented the largest export market for Mexico and Haiti, what creates common interests. Textile outsourcing is practiced by both economies, as well as agriculture in contrast, that Haiti requires significant investments to improve the added value.

According to figures from the study, Mexico is at $6.9 million and Haiti $7.2 million, in terms of costs of operation for this range of business.

Recalling that the Government Martelly-Lamothe was totally "pro-business" and open to concessions, the Director of CFI invited Mexicans to share their experiences with Haiti and to accompany the country in its quest for growth.

Of the Mexican side, one believe that "Haiti is open for business but not totally ready," because some administrative harassment still persist, despite the reforms undertaken and the efforts of CFI, aimed at roll out the red carpet for the Haitian and foreign entrepreneurs.

With his counterpart of ProMexico Carlos Guzman Bofil, the Director of CFI discussed issues such as the sharing of positive experiences and the opportunity for the CFI to take advantage of databases of Mexican institution, the signatures of cooperation agreement, the organization of joint missions and the achievement in Haiti of a workshop intended to the various public and private operators linked to the promotion and facilitation of exports and investments.
