Chad Inflation Rate (1980–2025)

Overview

Chad's inflation rate stood at 3.99% in 2025, a decline of +4.91pp from 2024. The IMF projects 3.99% by 2025. Chad ranked 65th globally.

Chad's inflation rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past 46 years, with the all-time peak occurring in 1994 at 41.72%. Notably, the country experienced a severe deflationary episode in 1986, characterized by a -13.06% inflation rate, a rare phenomenon in many economies. Since then, the inflation rate has generally trended downward, with the latest reading in 2025 standing at 3.99%, placing Chad at the 65th position globally. This downward trajectory is comparable to that of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which also experienced a decline in inflation rates over the years. The current inflation rate in Chad is lower than that of Kenya, which has maintained a relatively stable rate of 4.00% in recent years. However, any significant increase in global commodity prices or domestic demand could potentially alter this downward trend, leading to higher inflation rates in Chad.
