For the year 2024, remittance inflows to Haiti surpassed the $4 billion mark, revealed the governor of the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH), Ronald Gabriel, during his participation in the program Grands rendez-vous économiques on January 2, 2025. “Unrequited transfers amounted to $4.1 billion in 2024, representing a 9.5% increase,” the governor specified.

According to the governor, remittances play a crucial role in a country like Haiti, where the population faces significant vulnerability and fragility. These transfers enable the population to meet essential needs such as consumption, education, and healthcare. Additionally, remittances serve as a critical source of foreign exchange for Haiti, helping to offset the trade balance deficit. On this point, exports remain below the $1 billion mark, reaching only $766 million in 2024.
