The IMF has approved a Staff Monitored Program (SMP) for Haiti, a country facing severe macroeconomic and humanitarian challenges, including the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and local security issues. SMPs serve to monitor a country’s economic program but do not provide financial aid. Meanwhile, The US government has advised its citizens to leave Haiti immediately due to escalating violence, and Kenya has expressed a willingness to lead a multinational security force to help stabilize the nation, although details are still unclear.
