| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | US$28.24 million | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | US$21.26 million | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | US$14.44 million | 2014 |
| Highest | US$47.52 million | 2023 |
| Lowest | US$3.24 million | 2011 |
| Average since 2015 | US$24.1 million | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | US$4 million | 1971 |
Over five years it is up 32.83% from US$21.26 million in 2019 (5.84% a year on average, compounded). Since 1971 it is up 605.93% from US$4 million in 1971 (3.76% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Haiti's primary income payments (BoP, current US$) fell 40.6% on 2023 (from US$47.52 million to US$28.24 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +23.4% and a typical year strayed about 80% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below 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 279.9% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 68.9% in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 16% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Haiti had the 29th highest value of the 29 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
