| Summary: | Up to February 2020, Chad’s economy
continued its gradual, but mild recovery, supported by a
substantial increase in oil and agriculture production.
Since March 2020, like in the rest of the world, the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically changed
Chad’s macroeconomic outlook. Chad’s economic prospects have
not only been clouded, but they remain subject to
considerable downside risks. To mitigate the negative impact
of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Chad, the authorities announced
economic and social measures to support households and
private companies in recent months. The authorities are to
continue to strengthen some measures already taken while
introducing new measures to protect lives, livelihoods, and
the future. |
