Currency profile

How HTG works

The gourde is Haiti's national currency and is used for local prices, wages, public accounts and domestic cash transactions.

The Banque de la République d'Haïti administers HTG. One gourde is divided into 100 centimes within Haiti's national monetary framework.

The gourde has been Haiti's named national unit since the nineteenth century, with later changes in scale.
Prices may sometimes be discussed in informal Haitian-dollar units, but that expression is not a separate ISO currency.

Context

Why this currency matters

Haiti's informal use of the term Haitian dollar can confuse visitors because it is an accounting expression rather than a distinct banknote or ISO currency. Conversions should identify HTG explicitly. Remittance flows and imported goods also make the date of an exchange reference important for understanding local amounts.
