Chad’s official exchange rate has risen from 245.20 in 1960 to 627.43 in 2025, placing the country 41st globally among 66 years of coverage. The rate peaked at 732.40 in 2001, a level that reflected the combined impact of fiscal deficits, volatile commodity prices and limited foreign exchange inflows, before retreating to a historic low of 211.28 in 1980 during a period of severe balance‑of‑payments stress. The 2025 figure matches that of regional peers Senegal, Togo and Niger, underscoring a broadly similar depreciation pressure across the Sahel. While the long‑term trajectory has been upward, the post‑peak decline suggests that macro‑policy adjustments and modest improvements in export earnings can restrain further devaluation. Continued diversification of exports and stabilization of external debt would be required to shift the current depreciation trend toward a more sustainable exchange‑rate path.
