Central African Republic's Economy

The Central African Republic boasts a traditional economic framework, focused on agriculture, with forestry as a leading source of income. The Central African Republic forms part of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). The country’s political and security environment is perilous due to the civil war that ended in 2016. A new agreement was signed between the state and rebel groups to maintain peace, which has, in turn, contributed to a decline in violence. However, the situation is still quite difficult from a security perspective. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the agricultural sector faces uncertainty, compounded by unforeseen weather conditions. The Central African Republic continues to invest in the timber industry to boost exports as well as in infrastructure to rebuild the economy destroyed by the civil war.
