Haiti PM Laurent Lamothe and Wins Bravo Awards 2014

Why was Laurent Lamothe blessed with such a prestigious award?

Latin Trade Group explains...

"As prime minister since 2012, Lamothe along with President Michel Martelly's administration, has helped establish a paradigm shift for Haiti as a destination for investment, rather than simply for humanitarian aid. Lamothe has pursued reforms and policies to make Haiti a safer and more business-friendly country. Key initiatives include offering 15-year tax holidays and tax breaks to companies investing in the island nation, and increasing the police force by 30%.

From 2012 to 2013 foreign direct investment in Haiti increased 25 percent. Global brands have made significant investments in Haiti, including Heineken, Digicel, Viettel, Toms Shoes, Marriott and Carnival Cruise Lines. All of these investments have had a direct impact in boosting job creation, reconstruction and economic growth in Haiti, repositioning it as a country 'open for business'."

Congratulations to Laurent Lamothe on winning...
