Share of World GDP: Haiti

Analysis# Haiti Share of World GDP Haiti's share of global GDP stands at 0.017% in 2026, matching its all-time low and representing a dramatic 77.9% decline since 1980, when the country peaked at 0.077%. This collapse reflects decades of economic contraction and stagnation relative to global growth. The gap between Haiti's historical high and current position underscores the country's marginal role in the world economy today. The deterioration accelerated significantly after the early 1980s, with steady erosion continuing through the 21st century. From 2017 to 2026, Haiti's share fell from 0.029% to 0.017%—a consistent downward trajectory averaging roughly 0.0012 percentage points annually. Without substantial structural economic reforms and investment, projections suggest Haiti's global GDP share will remain at historically depressed levels, constraining the nation's economic influence and development capacity.
