The government of Haiti does not impose discriminatory requirements on foreign products and services. However, investment in certain sectors, such as health and agriculture, requires special authorization from the government of Haiti. Investment in "sensitive" sectors, such as electricity, water, and telecommunications, requires Haitian government concession as well as authorization from the appropriate state agency. In general, natural resources are considered to be the property of the state. As a result, prospecting, exploring, or exploiting mineral and energy resources requires concessions and permits from the Bureau of Mining and Energy, in the Ministry of Public Works. Mining, prospecting, and operating permits may only be granted to firms and companies established and resident in Haiti.
