Industrial Planning: ADIH unveiled Haiti’s Strategic Industrial Policy Plan 2026–2050, flagging a deep squeeze on production: industry’s GDP share down to 4.5%, 78% of working-age people underemployed or outside formal jobs, a $4B annual trade deficit, inflation over 30% eroding working capital, and electricity costs above $0.52/kWh. Infrastructure Watch: In the Northwest, construction has started on the Jean-Rabel–Port-de-Paix road, but residents worry the state is again choosing temporary dirt repairs over a durable paved highway. Diaspora & Labor Shock: In the U.S., Haiti’s TPS end is already triggering layoffs and staffing gaps in airports, nursing homes, schools, and other services that rely on Haitian workers—while Haitian communities in places like San Diego report fear and reduced willingness to go out or work. Consular Support: Haiti’s Foreign Ministry says it is strengthening consular action with the Dominican Republic to better protect and assist Haitians abroad. Trade Enforcement: Dominican authorities seized 580,000 contraband cigarettes allegedly shipped from Haiti, targeting tax fraud and illicit transport. Community & Culture: A new wave of recognition for Konpa comes as observers warn the nightclub ecosystem and diaspora cultural ties that sustained it are weakening.
