Poverty levels remain among the highest in the region, although the overall trend is downward. The World Bank estimates that the poverty rate (at the threshold of $8.3/day, PPP 2021) will fall from 18.1% in 2024 to 15.5% in 2025, then to 14% in 2026 and 12.4% in 2027. The decline is attributed to rising real incomes, lower inflation and fiscal support for households.
