Monetary Policy Note, 1st Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025-2026

The Banque de la République d'Haïti's quarterly monetary policy note covering October to December 2025, the first quarter of fiscal year 2025-2026. The note opens with an overview, then treats the global economic environment, where it records the world economy as relatively resilient despite trade-policy shifts and geopolitical tension, with the IMF revising world growth for 2026 slightly up to 3.3%, and notes the partial US budget shutdown of October and November 2025. It then turns to the Haitian economy across the real sector and prices, public finances, the external sector and monetary conditions, before setting out the banking sector and the central bank's policy decisions for the quarter. Nineteen pages.
