Currency: BEAC says CEMAC’s average coin circulation rose to 23 per person by May 2026, from 16 before the 2024 series. It aims for 30 by 2030; older coins lost legal-tender status across the bloc, including Chad, on Nov. 1. Energy: Chad has joined WPC Energy, seeking stronger international cooperation, investment and expertise to develop its energy resources and diversify the economy. Power Infrastructure: Cameroon’s first phase of the Chad electricity link is now estimated at CFA145.2 billion for its side of the project. Planned lines and substations are intended to enable power exports of 100 MW to Chad by 2030; the estimate is not an approved financing package. Climate Resilience: A five-year, US$11.7 million Lake Chad Basin project will improve flood and drought monitoring and early warnings across five countries, with expected benefits for 22.5 million people.
