Monthly Inflation Note, January 2026
Summary: The Bank of the Republic of Haiti's monthly note on inflation for January 2026. 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 stayed at 0.9 percent in January 2026, while annual inflation fell by 1.5 percentage points to 23.5 percent.
- Cumulative inflation from October 2025 to January 2026 reached 4.4 percent, compared with 11.5 percent one year earlier.
- Monthly inflation was held down by slower growth in alcoholic beverages, housing and transport, partly offset by food, clothing and household goods.
- Food and housing contributed 75.8 percent of monthly inflation and 77.8 percent of annual inflation.
- BRH linked the moderate month to looser supply constraints, better goods availability and slower imported-price growth.
