Monthly Inflation Note, August 2025
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for August 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 eased to 2 percent in August 2025, while annual inflation rose by 1.5 percentage points to 31.1 percent.
- Cumulative monthly inflation from October 2024 to August 2025 reached 29.6 percent, 3.2 percentage points above the same period one year earlier.
- Monthly slowing was tied to housing, health, restaurants and food, while clothing and alcoholic beverages accelerated.
- Food, housing and clothing contributed 73.6 percent of monthly inflation and 83.8 percent of annual inflation.
- BRH linked the slowdown to zero monetary financing, relative exchange-rate stability and measures limiting idle liquidity.
