Overview

Haiti’s gross savings ratio has slipped to 5.51 percent in 2025, placing the nation at 155th in the World Bank’s global ranking and marginally above Guinea’s 5.43 percent while trailing Moldova’s 5.79 percent. The indicator has been recorded for 46 years, descending from an early‑record high of 9.25 percent in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 26.92 percent in 1996, when a brief surge in foreign inflows and modest fiscal consolidation temporarily boosted savings. The subsequent plunge to a historic trough of –4.56 percent in 1993 reflected severe political instability, currency devaluation and a contraction in private sector investment. Since the mid‑1990s, Haiti’s savings rate has hovered in the low single digits, constrained by recurrent natural disasters, limited access to credit and a large informal economy. Continued improvements in macro‑economic governance, expansion of financial inclusion and resilience to climate shocks could reverse the downward trajectory and raise the savings ratio in the coming decade.
