Overview
Comoros
Comoros is an island country of about 880,000 people at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar. Covering roughly 1,860 km2, it comprises three main islands: Ngazidja (Grande Comore), Ndzwani (Anjouan), and Mwali (Mohéli). The islands are volcanic, and Mount Karthala on Ngazidja, an active volcano, reaches 2,361 metres. Comoros gained independence from France in 1975, while Mayotte, the fourth island of the archipelago, voted to remain under French administration. The Union of the Comoros, established in 2001, is a federal presidential republic. Azali Assoumani was re-elected president in January 2024. The islands are exposed to cyclones, and Cyclone Kenneth in 2019 caused damage equivalent to 14% of GDP. Forests cover about 17% of the land. Comorian, French, and Arabic are the official languages, and Islam is the predominant religion.
The Comorian economy is driven largely by remittances and domestic consumption. Remittances were equivalent to about 21% of GDP in 2023, and agriculture accounts for about 37% of GDP. Exports consist mainly of spices and ylang-ylang oil. In 2025, Comoros’ GDP per capita was approximately US$2,056, and real GDP grew by 3.8%.
