The Central Bank of Comoros (BCC) annual report, published on August 28, 2026, confirms that the Comorian economy grew by 3.8% in 2025, up from 3.3% the previous year. This is the country's best performance since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Three Main Growth Engines
According to the BCC's analysis, this acceleration rests on three converging factors: a dynamic construction sector, improved electricity supply — long a bottleneck for businesses — and the robustness of transfers from the Comorian diaspora, one of the most active in Africa as a share of GDP.
Inflation, meanwhile, fell sharply to 3.3% from 5.1% previously, supported by easing prices for energy and food products on international markets. This combination — rising growth, falling inflation — is a rare positive signal for the archipelago.
A Banking Sector That Is Consolidating
The BCC also notes that the national banking system has "consolidated" as of end-December 2025, following years of structural reforms. Improved activity indicators and demonstrated resilience mark a turning point for the archipelago's financial institutions, which operate within the franc zone.
Why It Matters
Long overshadowed by its higher-profile Indian Ocean neighbours, the Comoros archipelago is sending economic signals in 2025 not seen for several years. A 3.8% growth rate, controlled inflation and a strengthened banking sector form a credible base for attracting more investment — particularly in infrastructure, energy and tourism, three sectors where demand still far outstrips available supply.
