Monthly Inflation Note, November 2015
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for November 2015. It reads the consumer price index published by IHSI and adds the central bank's own analysis: headline inflation month on month and year on year, movement in the main consumption functions, inflation broken down by whether goods are imported or locally produced and by region of the country, core inflation, the factors the bank holds responsible for the month's movement, and its inflation forecast.
Key Findings
- The November 2015 BRH inflation note reports continued annual acceleration but lower monthly inflation.
- Annual inflation reached 12.0 percent after 11.7 percent in October and 11.3 percent in September.
- Monthly inflation fell below 1 percent for the first time since June 2015.
- Food, beverages and tobacco remained the largest contributor to both monthly and annual inflation.
- Local-product monthly inflation slowed while local annual inflation rose, and imported-product annual inflation also increased.
- BRH links the monthly slowdown to lower international commodity prices, low inflation among trading partners and contained currency in circulation.
