Abstract

Let it be said at once: Haitian statistics have never been good. Given the large probable margin of error,1 they tell us little about Haiti’s plight. The most recent data derive from the IMF.2 According to these, GDP per capita amounted to US$524 in 1998, which, if true, represents an improvement of no less than 13 percent over 1996–973 and of more than 100 percent over the fatal year 1994,4 when in the wake of the international sanctions following the military coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991, the figure had dropped by an estimated 30 percent.5
