Haiti: Gross fixed capital formation, private sector (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Haiti's gross fixed capital formation, private sector (current LCU) rose 31% on 2024 (from 353.97 billion to 463.8 billion).

Across the 24 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2024), the average change was +24.4% and a typical year strayed about 46.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 127.9% in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 60.1% in 2007. 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 35.34 billion a year. A straight line explains 95% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 517.65 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 42.76 billion, against 81.35 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
