Haiti

Haiti jumped 8 places to 114th, but its economy shrank. Real GDP contracted 2.7% in 2025, while US$ GDP rose 32.2% to US$32.1 billion; the 35.0-percentage-point gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects, not output. Inflation reached 28.6% and unemployment 14.9%.

Services account for 54.2% of output and industry 27.5%, with manufacturing at 20.2% and agriculture at 15.8%. Government gross debt stands at 12.3% of GDP.

Prices cut the other way on living standards. Output per person is US$2,694, 152nd of 196, but on a purchasing-power basis it falls to $3,134 international dollars, 180th, a 28-place drop that reflects high local prices. With 11.9 million people, Haiti now sits between Papua New Guinea and Albania and is about the size of the Modesto, CA metro area. GDP has grown 4.7x since 2000, when it ranked 105th. The IMF projects US$56.0 billion by 2030, a rise of +74% that would place it 103rd among economies with forecasts.
