Inflation analysis
Inflation in Chad
This page covers 44 years of Chad consumer price data, from 1983 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1994, when consumer prices in Chad rose 41.7%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 16 of those 43 years, including in recent decades — about 37% of the time — most sharply in 1986, when they dropped 13.1%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 5.5% a year, while the 2010s were the calmest at 1.5%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 2.8% a year, below the 3.6% average across the whole record.
