CENTRAL
AFRICAN REPUBLIC

Chair

The Central African Republic, with a population of about 5.7 million and a GDP of approximately $2.5 billion in 2023, faces economic challenges largely due to political instability. The per capita income is around $400. The economy relies on agriculture, with key exports including diamonds and gold.

Recent efforts focus on stabilizing the country and improving infrastructure to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Opportunities exist in mining and agriculture, although the ongoing political situation affects economic development.
