In 2007 , Haiti 's most valuable state-owned asset , Teleco , was privatised for a mere $ 59 million and 2,800 lost their jobs . Haiti is now described as " the most privatised country in the world " . The collapse of Haitian agriculture and the expansion of Port-au-Prince 's population is one of his most lasting legacies , and the mass casualties in the 2010 earthquake and the enfeebled government 's inability to cope with it thus were brought about with his help . Haiti no longer produces cement so it is forced to pay to import cement from abroad for its reconstruction . The new plans for rebuilding Haiti are all drawn up according to Delatour 's own frameworks and his brothers have key roles in executing these plans . Delatour 's pro-globalization anti-nationalism and Haiti 's economic decline under his influence also helped in promoting nostalgia for both Duvaliers and their respective regimes . As a result of his policies , in 2000 , Haiti 's per capita income had declined to $ 329 from $ 600 in 1980 during the height of Jean-Claude Duvalier 's dictatorship . Haiti also lost its self-sufficiency in rice under his influence and it became increasingly vulnerable to international food price fluctuations as it was required to import its food . The 2008 food riots caused by international speculators too is part of Delatour 's legacy
