What the numbers say
In 2025, Chad's final consumption expenditure (current LCU) fell 0.4% on 2024 (from 8.4 trillion to 8.37 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +10.4% and a typical year strayed about 20.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 79.6% in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 33.6% in 2003. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 282.69 billion a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 10 observed years.
