Chad's government revenue has experienced fluctuations over the past three decades, with a coverage period spanning from 1995 to 2025. The country's government revenue peaked in 2011 at 18.08 percent of GDP, while hitting a trough of 8.00 percent in 2004, indicating significant volatility in the nation's fiscal situation. Notably, Chad's revenue has been surpassed by several of its peer countries, including Papua New Guinea, which achieved a government revenue of 17.93 percent in 2025, a value close to Chad's 17.92 percent.

Looking ahead, a sustained increase in oil prices or the discovery of new mineral resources could potentially boost Chad's government revenue and improve its ranking among global peers.
