Haiti - Economy : Low rise of Foreign Direct Investment (2015)
Wednesday, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) announced that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased slightly in Haiti in 2015, from $99 million (2014) to 104 million US dollars (2015).
The textile and tourism are the two main sectors benefiting from these investments with the opening of a new textile factory in the industrial park SONAPI (by Korean clothing manufacturer Hansae) and the opening of the Marriott Hotel in Port-au-Prince (45 million).
ECLAC also states that in 2015, the Dominican Republic, which shares the island with Haiti, saw its FDI increase slightly by 1% to $ 2.2 billion, whose 49% of the total come from the tourism sector and real estate development.
