Le Nouvelliste Spotlights Economist's Analysis of Haiti-Dominican Republic Development Gap
An editorial highlights economist Réginald Surin's work examining whether Haiti can catch up to its neighbor.
Le Nouvelliste has published an editorial, titled 'Our delays are vertiginous,' praising the work of economist Réginald Surin, who has been writing for the newspaper for several months. According to the editorial, Surin contributes long, detailed articles on subjects that, in the outlet's view, few others address, often approaching common themes from original angles. The editorial states that his work merits the attention of those interested in Haiti, Haitians and their future. In the day's edition, Surin offers a piece asking 'Can Haiti catch up to the Dominican Republic? The vertigo of the numbers.' The editorial frames the question around the development disparities between the two nations sharing the island of Hispaniola. Le Nouvelliste's coverage of the subject appears alongside related reporting, including remarks attributed to Fernando Capellán that the Dominican Republic and Haiti 'must develop strategic plans to manage their relationship,' and a reference to a UN expert group's finding that the 400 Mawozo gang reportedly sources supplies in the Dominican Republic. The full analysis is available to registered readers on the newspaper's platform.
