Chad's Economy
Chad has been an oil-producing country since 2003. As a landlocked Sahelian country in central Africa, security in Chad is an issue due to its struggles with conflicts arising in border countries and climate change is also causing the desertification and the drying up of Lake Chad. Chad has a significant number of refugees, representing around 4% of the country’s population. Whilst oil volatility presents risks to the economy, Chad looks forward to investing in various sectors of activity such as infrastructure, education and health to boost its economy and minimise risks.
