Overview
Chad's gdp growth stood at 3.34% in 2025, a decline of +0.86pp from 2024. The IMF projects 3.34% by 2025. Chad ranked 76th globally.
Chad's GDP growth has experienced considerable fluctuations over the past 65 years. The country's all-time peak of 33.63% in 2004 stands in stark contrast to its all-time trough of -21.44% in 1979, reflecting the significant challenges it faced during the height of its civil war. Since then, Chad's GDP growth has gradually recovered, with a steady increase over the years. As of 2025, Chad's GDP growth rate stands at 3.34%, ranking 76 globally. This growth rate is comparable to that of Algeria, which also experienced a 3.36% growth rate in 2025. However, Chad's growth trajectory is still below the peak achieved in 2004 and lags behind the growth rate of some of its peers, such as Poland with a 3.24% growth rate in 2025. Looking ahead, a sustained increase in oil production and improved economic diversification could potentially propel Chad's GDP growth upwards, potentially bridging the gap with its peers.
