Summary

Despite a period of calm, there continues to be a feeling of unrest in the country, hence the higher-than-average discount rate. Presidential elections in 2016 were accompanied by unrest, and with the country vulnerable to fluctuations in the commodity cycle, we are concerned that the government will raise revenue from squeezing the O&G sector; the outlook remains Negative.

Climate

Chad is Africa’s fifth largest country by geographic/surface area, encompassing three agro-climatic zones. Chad is landlocked, bordering Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, Central African Republic (CAR) to the south, and Cameroon, Nigeria, and Niger to the west (with which it shares Lake Chad). The nearest port – Douala, Cameroon – is 1,700 km from the capital, N’Djamena. Chad is one of six countries that constitute the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), a common market. Chad’s human development is one of the lowest in the world according to the UN Human Development Index (HDI), and poverty afflicts a large proportion of the population.
