Comoros: CPIA trade rating (1=low to 6=high)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Comoros' CPIA trade rating (1=low to 6=high) did not change 0 on 2024 (from 3.5 to 3.5).

Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2024), the average change was +0.08 and a typical year strayed about 0.19 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.5 in 2006. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures

Trade assesses how the policy framework fosters trade in goods.

Limitations: The CPIA exercise is intended to capture the quality of a country's policies and institutional arrangements, focusing on key elements that are within the country's control, rather than on outcomes (such as economic growth rates) that are influenced by events beyond the country's control. More specifically, the CPIA measures the extent to which a country's policy and institutional framework supports sustainable growth and poverty reduction and, consequently, the effective use of development assistance.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a unweighted average.
