Overview
Comoros's reserves in months of imports stood at 7.6 in 2025, a decline of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.6 by 2025. Comoros ranked 20th globally.
Comoros’ foreign‑exchange reserves cover 7.58 months of imports in 2025, placing the archipelago at rank 20 worldwide. This level more than triples the 2.23‑month coverage recorded in 1980 and remains below the all‑time peak of 10.46 months reached in 2003, while far exceeding the trough of 0.61 months recorded in 1984. The long‑run upward trajectory reflects gradual improvements in trade balance, remittance inflows and modest diversification of export commodities, yet the recent slowdown suggests that the reserve buffer is still vulnerable to external shocks such as commodity price volatility or climate‑related disruptions to agriculture. Compared with peers of similar ranking, such as Kuwait (7.27 months) and Suriname (7.69 months), Comoros maintains a comparable cushion, although the latter’s higher export concentration may pose greater risk. Continued fiscal consolidation, expansion of non‑oil export sectors and stronger regional integration are likely to sustain or modestly raise the reserve coverage in the coming years.
