The Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) confirms the anchoring of the disinflation process in its December 2025 monthly report.
Monthly inflation stood at 0.9%, compared to 1.0% in November, a decline of 10 basis points.
Year-over-year, the rate reached 25%, a marked decrease from the 28.3% recorded the previous month, signaling a gradual easing of inflationary pressures.
The slowdown affects several consumption categories, notably “Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages” and “Housing, Water, Gas, Electricity, and Other Fuels.”
These categories nevertheless remain the main contributors to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The relative stability of the exchange rate, around 130–131 gourdes per U.S. dollar, also helped contain imported pressures.
BRH forecasts project continued disinflation in the first quarter of 2026, with an annual rate expected to reach 21.1% in March.
