The new Haitian government faces major economic challenges. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and is one of the poorest countries in the world. Two-thirds of the 8 million citizens of Haiti are in poverty. Half of that adult population does not have literacy ability. Only a quarter of children attend school. Since the sharp rise in the 1970s Haiti's economy has steadily declined due to greedy government policy and probably goodwill, but destructive international sanctions.

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. However, Haiti was once the opposite. Haiti was once the French colony of Santo Domingo, the world's wealthiest and most profitable colony. Santo Domingo is France's most valuable asset, which is the main destination for France to find wealth. However, since Santo Domingo became an economic powerhouse for plantation economies based on slave labor, the vast majority did not benefit from the colonial strong economy. In 1791, slaves and free blacks rebelled their master and colonial administrator to assert their own freedom and equal rights. The rebel broke the French army in 1803 and the Haitian Revolution became the first successful slave riot. Therefore, on January 1, 1804, rebels declared independence and founded the first contemporary nation of the black republic of Haiti.
