There are concerns by some Haitians that president, Rene Preval’s government, has not done enough to lower food prices. It is believed that three-quarter of the population lives on less than US$2 a day.



According to the World Bank, Haiti has an annual per capita income of about US$450.



The IMF says inflation has fallen further since Preval took office in May 2006, dropping to 7 point 9 percent by July.
