Overview
Haiti's government revenue stood at 5.71% in 2025, a decline of +6.50% from 2024. The IMF projects 5.71% by 2025. Haiti ranked 185th globally.
Haiti’s government revenue as a share of GDP stood at 5.71 percent in 2025, placing the country 185th in the world according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. This figure follows a long‑term decline from the all‑time peak of 13.72 percent recorded in 2012, when fiscal capacity briefly expanded amid post‑earthquake reconstruction and heightened donor assistance. The trough of 4.56 percent in 2001 reflects the fiscal strain of political instability and weak tax administration that persisted into the early 2000s. Over the 29‑year coverage period, Haiti’s revenue ratio has remained well below that of peers such as Bangladesh (7.66 percent) and the Federal Republic of Somalia (7.17 percent), and only marginally above Sudan’s 3.00 percent, underscoring persistent challenges in broadening the tax base and improving collection efficiency. Structural reforms, enhanced customs modernization and more effective domestic revenue mobilization could reverse the downward trajectory and raise the revenue share toward regional averages in the coming years.
