Haiti security crisis and economic redistribution

Overview

The security crisis in Port-au-Prince has caused significant economic and demographic shifts within Haiti. As instability in the capital has paralyzed many activities and suspended various air links, Cap-Haïtien has emerged as a primary entry point for the country.

This shift has led to a redistribution of economic transactions, with large companies, humanitarian organizations, and some diplomatic missions increasingly positioning themselves in Cap-Haïtien. While infrastructure projects are underway to renovate roads leading to the international airport and expand the diplomatic lounge, the city is struggling to manage an exponential population increase caused by a massive influx of internally displaced persons fleeing the Port-au-Prince metropolitan region.
