Court of Auditors Flags Major Underspending in Haiti's 2025-2026 Budget
A CSCCA report finds only 35% of first-half budget credits executed by March 31, 2026.
Haiti's Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSCCA) has found a significant underexecution of public spending halfway through the 2025-2026 fiscal year, according to Le Nouvelliste. In its budget execution report for the first two quarters of the fiscal year, dated October 2026, the court noted that as of March 31, 2026, executed expenditures stood at 120.93 billion gourdes against projections of 345.51 billion gourdes — an execution rate of only 35.00%. The report stated that at mid-year, nearly two-thirds of the credits planned in the budget remained unexecuted. The CSCCA described this as an important underexecution of budgetary spending. The findings come amid wider scrutiny of public finance transparency in Haiti, with the court having previously noted a significant imbalance in public spending. Le Nouvelliste reports that the full analysis is available to registered readers of the outlet. Further detail on the causes of the underexecution and sectoral breakdowns was not specified in the available excerpts.
