You can look at this announcement is several different ways but for today I will look on the bright side. It is encouraging to read a report that Haiti will have the highest percentage of economic growth in the region. However, you have to admit with the economy being so bad it does not take much for it to show a large percentage of improvement. I did promise to keep on the bright side and I would love to see the day when no matter where you look in Haiti you would be able to see a scene like the one featured in Maximo's post. A modern building along a paved street with a sidewalk and people going about their daily routine of going to work or shopping. Newer model vehicles traveling along the road with a smooth flow of traffic that is controlled by traffic lights. Haiti can be all of his and so much more if only the right people are in the government. Keep posting the good news Maximo! It helps give us all a view of what Haiti is to some small degree right now but what it can be on a much larger degree in the future.

What are you willing to do to help get the Haiti that you talk about
Over all people the economy is growing. I know some of you write about the help etc the country is receiving , but most countries in this world do receive some type of help from others , even the countries that are part of the first world economy.
Haiti's help is way much higher than some of those medium income and third world countries , but they all receive help
We have to look at the positive side. So There are some progress, and that the economy is growing for this year.

Are you sure about that claim? Can you back it up?
And even if you were right, most countries in the world aren't boasting about greatest growth in their region.
Being so dependent is not something to just shrug off. It means anything that affects the countries that give you charity affects you as well, even if you were not technically exposed. That's why the 7.8% thing had to be reduced to 4.5%. Other countries in the region don't have to make those adjustments because they are not as dependent.
It's only my humble opinion, but living from others' crumbs is not something to be proud of.

It's true and a lot of the things you wrote make sense, but here's a list of countries that receive some type of financial help

Very interesting, thanks for the link. It does put things in perspective, I would have never guessed for China, Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil (although they're not quite first world yet).

Actually that listing tells NOTHING of economic importance.
1. Many of these countries are themselves givers of financial aid to others.
2. It depends on what type of AID and in what area of the economy the foreign aid is going.
But more importantly what percentage is that AID as part of the country's economy or economic output.
