Monthly Inflation Note, March 2025
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for March 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
- The CPI rose from 479.8 in February 2025 to 489.8 in March 2025, with monthly inflation edging up to 2.1 percent.
- Annual inflation slowed by 3.2 percentage points to 25.2 percent, the lowest level since February 2024.
- Cumulative monthly inflation from October 2024 to March 2025 reached 16.1 percent, compared with 18.6 percent one year earlier.
- Monthly acceleration came mainly from housing utilities and communications, while most other divisions slowed or stagnated.
- BRH linked the acceleration to supply-chain bottlenecks from armed-group violence on major roads, including Mirebalais.
