Economic Status: In 2010, the economy in Haiti showed a deep fall due to a massive earthquake that shook the country. But it, instead of making the country struggle in economy, has profited the country. Because since then, foreign aids have been pouring in to aid in the country's rebuilding. Around 20 percent of GDP is comprised by foreign remittances. Apart from the money flowing from foreign countries, Haiti has the apparel manufacturing that constitutes another 10% of the country’s GDP.
