This year, inflation, either on a monthly or annual basis broke records, reaching 12% in November, the highest since 2008. As a consequence, the cost of living undergoes almost constant rise since January 2015. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16163-haiti-economy-inflation-reaches-the-threshold-of-12.html
