Comoros: Gross national expenditure (constant LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Comoros' gross national expenditure (constant LCU) rose 3.6% on 2024 (from 586.94 billion to 608.13 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2.9% and a typical year strayed about 2.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above 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 7.4% in 1992 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.2% in 1991. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 15.01 billion a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.

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

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 645.84 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 9.89 billion, against 39.24 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
