Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Haiti's GDP deflator (base year varies by country) rose 34.4% on 2024 (from 564.58 to 758.76).

This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 91.4% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 16% in 1970. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 63.87 a year. A straight line explains 87% of the movement over 10 observed years.
