Haiti Consumer Price Index

Haiti’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen dramatically from a base of 0.85 in 1960 to 795.09 in 2025, placing the nation at 12th position globally among 66 years of coverage. The index’s all‑time peak coincides with the most recent year, reflecting persistent inflationary pressures that have accelerated since the early 2000s and intensified after the 2010 earthquake and subsequent political instability. By contrast, the trough in 1960 illustrates a pre‑industrial price environment when monetary policy and market integration were minimal. Haiti’s CPI is closely aligned with Sierra Leone’s 793.11 and slightly below Belarus’s 818.46, indicating that despite differing economic structures, the Caribbean state shares a comparable inflation trajectory with other low‑income economies experiencing fiscal deficits and supply‑chain disruptions. If structural reforms improve fiscal discipline, diversify imports, and strengthen monetary autonomy, the upward CPI path could moderate, allowing price stability to become a more attainable objective.
