Pi Bon Ayiti has unveiled a transformative national strategy aimed at positioning Haiti as a premier destination for start-ups and foreign corporations. At the heart of this vision is a bold infrastructure plan that prioritizes industrial development along key national corridors. Beginning with the Cap-Haïtien to Les Cayes axis, the initiative will expand to include Mole-Saint-Nicholas to Ouanaminthe, Miragoâne to Jérémie, Port-au-Prince to Cap-Haïtien via Hinche, and Tiburon to Pedernales. These corridors will host large and small industrial parks, supported by new roads, railways, coastal shipping networks, and deep-water ports designed to facilitate international trade.
To ensure continuity and long-term impact, all infrastructure projects will be codified under the National Policy Laws (LPN in Creole), making them binding priorities for all future governments. This legal safeguard reflects Pi Bon Ayiti’s commitment to strategic planning and national resilience. The development of these industrial zones will not only decentralize economic activity but also unlock regional potential, reduce logistical bottlenecks, and create thousands of jobs across multiple sectors.
Complementing this physical transformation is a sweeping reform of Haiti’s business laws. The new framework eliminates corporate income tax, VAT, capital gains, inheritance, and personal taxes. Instead, corporations will contribute a flat 1% Kotizasyon on capital gains up to $1,000,000. These contributions will be allocated to essential services including fire protection, security, infrastructure maintenance, national defense, green energy production, and environmental protection. This model ensures that economic growth directly funds public goods, reinforcing the social contract between enterprise and society.
Corporations will be recognized as distinct legal entities subject to Haitian law, with clear pathways for naturalization. Local corporations are automatically naturalized, while foreign corporations may choose to remain non-naturalized or pursue naturalization to gain access to strategic sectors such as defense, ports, airports, agriculture, and mining. Business licenses will be processed within 48 hours through a streamlined digital portal, dramatically improving Haiti’s global ranking for ease of doing business.
This initiative marks a turning point for Haiti, which currently ranks among the slowest countries in the world to register a business—taking an average of 97 days. By removing bureaucratic barriers and offering a transparent, tax-free environment, Pi Bon Ayiti aims to leapfrog Haiti into the ranks of the most business-friendly nations. The plan also integrates diaspora engagement and multilingual support, ensuring that Haitian entrepreneurs abroad can participate fully in the country’s renewal.
Ultimately, this strategy is more than an economic blueprint—it is a nation-building project. By aligning infrastructure, legal reform, and global outreach, Pi Bon Ayiti is laying the foundation for a resilient, inclusive, and opportunity-rich Haiti. It invites innovators, investors, and Haitians worldwide to help shape a republic that welcomes enterprise, protects its environment, and honors the dignity of every contributor to its future.
