The World Bank has published Haiti: Growth Trajectories Amid Heightened Risks (June 2026), a document that “situates Haiti’s medium-term growth prospects at a time of rising risks. It updates recent economic developments through mid-2026, examines Haiti’s economic potential and constraints, and identifies pathways toward recovery.”

The economy contracted for a seventh consecutive year in fiscal year 2025, deepening poverty.
