Central African Republic GDP: $11 billion

2024 AND 2025 WORLD ECONOMICS ESTIMATE FOR GDP PPP

World Economics estimates Central African Republic's 2024 GDP at $11 billion in PPP terms (Purchasing Power Parity) and an initial estimate of $12 billion for 2025. This figure is 93% higher than the official estimate published by the World Bank.

World Economics' methodology incorporates crucial factors often overlooked in official estimates, such as:

  • The size of the informal economy: It is estimated that 48% of Central African Republic's economic activity occurs outside the formal sector.
  • Outdated GDP base year data: Many countries use outdated base years for their GDP calculations, leading to an underestimation of economic growth. Central African Republic uses a 19 year old GDP base year.

By adjusting for these factors where required, World Economics provides a more accurate picture of Central African Republic's true economic size and potential.

For reference, offical data reported Central African Republic's GDP as $2 billion in 2015 constant prices and $3 billion in current prices for 2024.
