DGI Reports 9.24 Billion Gourdes in Revenue for October 2026

Haiti's Direction générale des impôts (DGI) has released, in a rare move, an economic note presenting its monthly fiscal performance, according to Le Nouvelliste. In the document dedicated to October 2026 revenue, the tax collection institution reported a figure of 9.24 billion gourdes, exceeding the forecasts set for the month. The publication comes at the start of the 2026-2027 fiscal year. Le Nouvelliste noted that the disclosure raises the question of whether it marks a new step in the tax administration's communication about its results, as such monthly figures are not routinely made public. The outlet cited data published by the DGI, though full details of the breakdown were available only to registered readers of the source. The report appeared alongside related coverage noting that customs (Douanes) collected 11.5 billion gourdes in October 2026, and remarks attributed to Robert Jr Paret arguing that Haiti must first broaden its economy to mobilize more revenue. No further official context on expenditure or allocation of the reported funds was provided in the available excerpt.
