Haiti in figures

Updated 7 August 2026.
Definition and limits
The figures are the official pump prices per gallon set by joint notice of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI). A price holds until the next notice, so a month without a notice repeats the last price and the series moves in steps. Since April 2026 a decree sets the prices monthly from import costs. The series does not measure the street price, which runs above the schedule when supply is short.
