"I am here, because the State alone can not hire the millions of unemployed in the cities and rural sections of the country. The path to better living conditions for our people requires a combination of public and private sector efforts," said President Jovenel Moïse. "I am here because I believe the private sector has an important role to play in the production of goods, services and above all in the creation of jobs." Reuven Bigio, Executive Director of Bigio Group (GB Group), welcomed the willingness and determination of the Head of State to facilitate investment in Haiti.
