Monthly Inflation Note, February 2025
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for February 2025. 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
- Monthly inflation slowed by 10 basis points to 2 percent in February 2025, and annual inflation slowed to 28.4 percent.
- Cumulative monthly inflation from October 2024 to February 2025 reached 13.8 percent, 50 basis points above the same period one year earlier.
- Monthly slowing was led by transport, restaurants and leisure.
- Food and housing contributed 82.6 percent of monthly inflation and 76.8 percent of annual inflation.
- BRH linked the slowdown to partial easing of domestic shocks, lower international food prices and a relatively stable exchange rate.
