136. Despite the complex interplay of recession factors, the Government of the Republic of Haiti has made strenuous efforts to improve the process of economic planning which was started in 1962. It has streamlined the servicing of the public debt, which now operates in a normal manner; it has taken vigorous action to stimulate tourism again by building an international airport for jet aircraft at Port-au-Prince and by establishing several tourist offices in the United States and Canada. The scarcity of available resources has not prevented investment in the agricultural, infra-structural and social sectors; although relatively modest, these investments nevertheless signal a resumption of economic activity by starting up infra-structural projects.
