Analysis# Haiti Current Account Balance
Haiti's current account balance stands at -0.6% of GDP in 2026, reflecting persistent external imbalances. The metric has deteriorated significantly since 1980, with a total change of 80.6%, though it remains well above the all-time low of -8.2% recorded in 1992. Haiti achieved its only surplus of 0.4% of GDP in 1998, marking the country's best external position in the monitored period.
Recent years reveal sharp volatility in Haiti's external accounts. The balance swung from near-equilibrium at 0% in 2025 to deficits exceeding -3.5% in 2023, driven by trade imbalances and remittance fluctuations. The forecasted -0.6% deficit for 2026 suggests modest stabilization, though sustained deficits indicate ongoing reliance on external financing and capital inflows to cover the gap between imports and exports.
