It describes weak structural transformation since the early 2000s, shifting employment toward low-productivity informal services. Using GDP and labor shares, it highlights the informal sector’s dominant role and presents an evidence-based view of market creation needs to support inclusive growth through private investment.","Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nPublic  \nCOUNTRY PRIVATE SECTOR DIAGNOSTIC  \nCREATING MARKETS IN HAITI  \nLeveraging Private Investment for Inclusive Growth  \nSeptember 2021  \nAbout IFC  \nIFC—a member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets.
