The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its Governance Diagnostic Report on Haiti, published in January 2025, pointed directly to the issue, emphasizing that “the unequal enforcement of anti-corruption and anti-money laundering measures remains a recurring concern.”

"At the most basic level, key laws, regulations, and standards are not enforced due to elite interference and a lack of capacity, resources, and independence. The legal and institutional frameworks are inadequate to address existing risks. Impunity has long been the norm and has worsened in recent years," the IMF stated.
