HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Haiti's gourde has experienced sustained depreciation since 2018, losing more than two-thirds of
its value against the dollar between 2018 and 2024. The BRH has periodically intervened to slow
depreciation during politically sensitive periods, including the immediate post-Moise transition.

Inflation rates above 30 percent have been documented since 2022, sustained by fuel price
volatility, supply chain disruption, and import dependency across all major consumer categories.
