Chad's economy is expected to grow by 3.4% in 2025, led by the non-oil sector, which expanded by an estimated 4.2%, while oil output eased slightly. The oil sector remains central to public finances, accounting for around 15% of GDP, roughly 41% of government revenue, and about 76% of exports, while agriculture contributes close to 40% of GDP and supports much of the population. Macroeconomic conditions are improving: inflation is projected to moderate to 4.1% in 2025 from 5.7% in 2024, and the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) cut its main policy rate to 4.5% in early 2025. Growth is projected to average 3.9% over 2026–2027, with medium-term non-oil growth of around 4.2%, supported by the World Bank's FY26–31 Country Partnership Framework, which prioritises private sector–led job creation, alongside a new USD 100 million programme to expand access to finance for micro, small and medium enterprises.
