Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Chad's GNI per capita (constant 2015 US$) rose US$20.16 on 2024 (from US$835.59 to US$855.75).

This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above 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 US$144.48 in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was US$104.18 in 2016. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
