Overview
Chad's regulatory quality stood at -1.18 in 2025, a decline of +0.02 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -1.18 by 2025. Chad ranked 176th globally.
Chad's Regulatory Quality, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators, has experienced fluctuations over the past 26 years. The country's all-time peak of -0.83 in 2004, while still a relatively low score, indicates a slight improvement in regulatory quality compared to its all-time trough of -1.23 in 1996. Chad's current score of -1.18, ranking it #176 globally, is comparable to that of the Republic of Congo, which shares similar governance challenges. The relatively stable score over the years suggests that Chad's regulatory environment has not experienced significant deterioration, diverging from the downward trend seen in some of its peer countries. However, the country still faces significant challenges in improving its regulatory quality to attract investment and promote economic growth. A potential shift in Chad's trajectory could be driven by improvements in its institutional capacity, strengthened by international cooperation and targeted policy reforms.
