Understand the numbers
What Chad's economic profile is telling you
Chad's current World Bank indicator page shows strong real GDP growth in 2025 and a decline in the annual consumer-price index. This differs from some earlier forecast material, so the dashboard uses the latest annual series rather than mixing it with projections.
Oil remains central to Chad's external economy. The WTO profile currently exposes an old import observation without a same-year export total in the retrieved profile, so no merchandise balance is calculated.
Reading the macro data
GDP measures current-dollar economic size. Real growth tracks output after price effects, while CPI inflation and unemployment describe separate price and labor-market conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or presented as a current-account balance.
