TRADE AND INVESTMENT

Trade and Investment with the UK

There are no official services delivered on behalf of UKTI in this market to help British companies who wish to export or invest here. However, lobbying on behalf of British companies may be carried out on a case-by-case basis.

Britain has minimal trade links with Comoros.

UK Trade & Investment Country Profile: Comoros

Development

The economy depends largely on remittances from the 70,000-strong Comoran diaspora in France to offset deficits, and on French and European Union (EU) aid. In June 2005 the EU granted 27.3 million Euros to Comoros for education and to strengthen local administrative structures. A donors’ conference held in Mauritius on 8 December 2005 resulted in aid pledges of US$140 million in cash, and US$60 million in kind (training and technical assistance etc.) In general, economic progress and development have been undermined by political instability.
