Chad GDP (1960–2025)

Overview

Chad's gdp stood at $21.6B in 2025, a rise of +$2.1B from 2024. The IMF projects $21.6B by 2025. Chad ranked 124th globally.

Chad's GDP has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with the latest figure standing at 21,592,000,000.00, ranking 124th globally. The country's economic trajectory has been marked by an all-time peak in 2025, mirroring the global economic trends. However, Chad's economic development has been hindered by its all-time trough in 1960, when the GDP was a mere 313,582,728.15. In comparison, its peer countries, such as Niger, have demonstrated relatively similar growth patterns. For instance, Niger's GDP has grown to 22,969,000,000.00, outpacing Chad's. The steady increase in Chad's GDP over the years suggests a gradual economic expansion, but the country's reliance on oil exports and its fragile infrastructure may hinder its growth prospects. A shift in the global energy landscape, potentially driven by the increased adoption of renewable energy sources, could alter Chad's economic trajectory and impact its GDP growth in the years to come.
