Haiti Remittances Received

Haiti’s remittance inflows have risen dramatically from a modest US$17,899,999.62 in 1971 to a record US$4,222,628,071.02 in 2025, placing the country 49th globally and surpassing peers such as Jordan (US$4,244,422,535.21) and Zimbabwe (US$4,085,380,183.83). The 47‑year coverage shows a sustained upward trajectory, reflecting the growing dependence of Haitian households on diaspora earnings amid limited domestic employment opportunities and recurrent natural disasters. The all‑time peak coincides with the 2025 reporting year, a period marked by intensified migration to the United States and Canada, as well as heightened humanitarian assistance following the 2021 earthquake and subsequent crises. While the trough in 1971 underscores the historical scarcity of formal remittance channels, the expansion of mobile money and lower transaction costs have accelerated recent growth. Continued improvements in financial inclusion and stability in host‑country economies are likely to sustain the upward trend, though any major policy shifts in major destination nations could alter the trajectory.
