At a glance

883,000 people, half of them under 21, in an economy of $1.8bn in 2026, growing 4.1% a year.

Comoros’s economy is measured monthly and its households are measured by census. That split runs through everything below: exchange rates and market prices arrive within days, while access to water and power is estimated years after the fact.

One of the four figures beside this is modelled rather than reported. The page marks which is which everywhere, so a number you cite is a number you can defend.

Eight of ten datasets carry a 2025 figure. Climate stops at 2024; policies stops at 1998. Hatching is the absence of a figure, not a low one.
