The insecurity plaguing Port-au-Prince and major provincial cities has slowed economic activity and negatively impacted the operations of dozens of businesses, particularly in the critical import/export sector. As a net importer, Haiti has faced significant losses due to the suspension of commercial flights to and from Port-au-Prince in March 2023 and the halt of activities at the Port of Port-au-Prince, which accounts for over 80% of customs revenue. This disruption resulted in a revenue shortfall of over 5.658 billion gourdes for the Haitian government compared to the previous fiscal year.

For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the top 100 companies (excluding petroleum companies) contributed over 61.716 billion gourdes to the public treasury, with customs values exceeding 258.345 billion gourdes. However, the top 100 companies for the 2022-2023 fiscal year had contributed over 67.373 billion gourdes.
