Port-au-Prince, 3 December 2025 – In a fragile economic and security context, the Superior Court of Accounts and Administrative Litigation (CSCCA) published its first budget implementation report for the financial year 2024-2025 on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Covering the period from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025, the 22-page document provides an overview of resource mobilization, expenditure execution and the structural challenges of public financial management.
As at 31 March 2025, the resources mobilized amount to just over 120 billion gourdes, or 37 per cent of the financial law's forecast. Domestic revenues account for most of the resources, with nearly 98 billion gourdes from domestic contributions, customs duties and oil revenues. External financing remains limited, around 22 billion gourdes, mainly from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
With regard to expenditure, CCSCA reported that 101.82 billion gourdes had been executed, representing 31.48 per cent of the appropriations voted. Current expenditure accounts for the largest share, while capital expenditure remains low. The institution attributes this misperformance to insecurity, administrative delays, low absorption capacity of public institutions and delays in procurement procedures. Inconsistencies in the classification of expenditures and incomplete files were also noted.
In response to these findings, the CSCA recommends better compliance with the Public Finance Act of 4 May 2016, strengthening internal control and revenue collection, accelerating negotiations with financial partners and rebalancing current expenditure and public investment. This first report imposes itself as a warning signal and confirms the central role of the CSCC in promoting transparency and budgetary discipline in Haiti.
