2025 Reference Value Update Report: Living Wage Report for Rural Chad
Abstract
This report updates the Anker Living Wage Reference Value for rural Chad to 2025. Although the living wage for 2025 is higher than in 2022, it is lower than the living wage estimated for 2024. This decline reflects a disinflationary trend that began in the second half of 2024 and continued into early 2025. Since March 2025, Chad has experienced a relatively large deflation rate, with overall prices falling by 6% between June 2024 and June 2025, the reference period for this report. At the same time, the Central African CFA franc (XAF) has sharply appreciated against the US dollar. As a result, we observe an unusual situation: the living wage is declining in local currency terms but increasing when expressed in US dollars.
