Analysis# Chad Inflation Rate (CPI)
Chad's inflation rate stands at 3.6% in 2026, representing a moderate price environment for the Central African nation. This figure sits dramatically below the catastrophic 41.3% peak recorded in 1994, yet well above the deflationary low of -13.1% in 1986. Since 1980, Chad's inflation has declined 58.1 percentage points overall, reflecting substantial macroeconomic stabilization despite persistent volatility in recent decades.
The 2020s have witnessed notable instability, with inflation fluctuating between -1% (2019) and 5.8% (2022) as external shocks and commodity price swings buffeted the economy. The recent downward trajectory from 5.1% in 2024 to 3.6% in 2026 suggests moderating price pressures, though volatility remains a defining characteristic of Chad's inflation dynamics.
