Overview
Haiti's credit to gdp stood at 3.25% in 2025, a decline of +0.87% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.25% by 2025. Haiti ranked 154th globally.
Haiti’s credit to GDP ratio has fallen to 3.25 in 2025, placing it 154th in the world and marking the lowest level recorded since the series began in 1960 when it stood at 3.68. The dramatic descent from the all‑time peak of 20.81 in 1978 reflects decades of fiscal strain, limited access to international capital markets and repeated shocks from natural disasters and political instability. Over the 66‑year coverage period the ratio has consistently trended downward, a pattern that contrasts with neighboring Sierra Leone, whose 2025 credit to GDP sits at 3.63, and South Sudan, which records a slightly higher 4.00. The trough reached in 2025 underscores the fragility of Haiti’s external financing base and suggests that any substantial improvement will depend on sustained macro‑economic reforms, debt restructuring and enhanced investor confidence, which could gradually lift the credit‑to‑GDP ratio in the coming years.
