3.4 Chad Manual Labor Costs
Home

The external sector of Chad shows a positive balance since 2000 outside the years 2001, 2003, 2009 and 2012. This situation shows that Chad has a beneficial relationship with the rest of the world. This profit is supported by the capital and operations account largely dependent on capital transfers and direct investment foreigners (IDE). The current account of the balance of payments shows a negative balance since 2000, in view of the high bill paid by Chad for the services received and the repatriation of corporate profits to external capital. The trade balance is deficient, reflecting the non-competitiveness of export products. The exchange rate currency is strictly a function the Euro.

As per World Bank calculation, Chad's average monthly per capita income is $ 62, or $ 740 per capita per year. In 2016 in Chad, the payroll of civil and military personnel of the State amounts to 370 billion CFA (for 123 073 agents).

Salaries really differ from an organization to another, depending on financial capacities (between NGOs, UN agencies, donors, private sector and government entities).

2018, January 31 - News:

The unions have started an indefinite strike. The issue is a decline in the salaries of civil servants. The country is experiencing a serious economic crisis linked to the vertiginous drop in the price of a barrel of oil. Chad hopes to refloat out the state boxes.

Salaries will be reduced by 10 to 40% depending on the categories. The reason for this decline: an economic crisis that the government can no longer cope with. The price of a barrel of oil fell dramatically. The salary scale of the civil servants will thus adapt to the years "before oil". That's 15 years back. But the price of foodstuffs of first necessity has increased, taxes too, the price of fuel at the pump, etc.
