Le processus de tertiarisation de l’économie haïtienne

In the 1800’s, agriculture represented almost 95% of the Haitian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2009, the whole primary sector does not contribute more than 23% in the GDP.

description In the 1800’s, agriculture represented almost 95% of the Haitian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2009, the whole primary sector does not contribute more than 23% in the GDP. This decline profited the service sector which is dominated by little trade. The service sector moved from less than 5% to 60% of the GDP in the same period. In the present article we intend to underline this irreversible process. We aim to shed light on the current sectoral tendency change in Haiti’s economic activity. Evidence from macroeconomic data through time allows us to conclude that the Haitian economy is no more dominated by agriculture. It is dominated by the service sector, greatly informal.
