Monthly Inflation Note, April 2025
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for April 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 accelerated by 90 basis points to 3 percent in April 2025, while annual inflation rose by 1.5 percentage points to 26.7 percent.
- Cumulative monthly inflation from October 2024 to April 2025 reached 19.7 percent, 1.05 percentage points below the same interval one year earlier.
- Food, clothing and housing were among the strongest monthly increases.

- BRH linked the pressures to security deterioration, disrupted distribution circuits, reduced domestic production and higher FAO food prices.
