Chad

MERI Assessment

Chad scores 28.7 on the MERI Readiness Index, placing it in Tier 5 at global rank 123 (percentile 2.4). The country trails the Sub-Saharan Africa median by 9.5 points and the Low income group median by 3.0 points. Two active high-severity red flags—Active Conflict (112 battle-deaths over 11 events in the trailing 12 months) and EU Sanctions (2 consolidated entries)—present material barriers to market entry. Market Infrastructure is the weakest pillar at 20.4, while Regulatory Institutional is the strongest at 40.2.

One indicator (Human Capital Quality) is imputed from peer data; Financial Access and Foreign Ownership Restrictions are missing. Coverage ratio of 0.83 reflects incomplete data across market infrastructure and regulatory institutional pillars.
