Chad GDP per Capita
GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD
Chad's gdp per capita was $1,139 in 2025, ranked 167th globally. This represents a 18.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Chad's gdp per capita stood at $1,139 in 2025, a rise of +$177 from 2024. The IMF projects $1,139 by 2025. Chad ranked 167th globally.
Chad’s gross domestic product per capita has risen from a trough of 102.82 in 1960 to a 2025 level of 1,138.77, placing the country 167th in the World Bank rankings and trailing peers such as Nigeria (1,199.62) and Togo (1,119.60). The all‑time peak of 1,354.34 occurred in 2012, after which per‑capita output fell by roughly 15.9 percent over the subsequent decade, reflecting persistent challenges in diversifying an economy heavily reliant on oil and agriculture. The long‑term upward trajectory, however, remains modest; over the 66‑year coverage period the average annual growth in per‑capita GDP has been below 2 percent, far slower than the regional average for Sub‑Saharan Africa. Continued investment in infrastructure, human capital and non‑hydrocarbon sectors would be required to sustain higher growth rates and narrow the gap with neighboring economies.
