Increasing public sector expenditure and the public health emergency continued to affect economic performance, albeit less severely than in the first year of the pandemic. Growth projections for 2022 were 0.4% up, from 2.4% recorded economic growth in 2021. While the country opened to tourism, a return to pre-pandemic growth figures remained subject to the recovery of the industry. Political trajectories were still shaped by the controversial 2018 referendum and the 2019 presidential elections, which put president Azali Assoumani into power until 2024. The space for the opposition and free speech remained limited, including growing restrictions on press freedom. While the number of Covid-related casualties in the small island state remained comparatively low, public health protocols affected the livelihoods of poor households lastingly. Migration, maritime security, and the threat of climate change defined Comoro’s foreign policy agenda.
