Education Spending: Comoros

Analysis# Comoros Education Spending Comoros allocated 2.341% of its GDP to education in 2023, placing it near the lower end of its 25-year historical range. The nation's peak spending reached 4.423% in 2008, more than 88% higher than current levels. Since 1998, when education spending stood at 2.201% of GDP, the country has increased overall investment by 6.4%, though this modest growth masks significant volatility across the period. A dramatic contraction occurred between 2008 and 2011, when spending dropped from 4.423% to 2.83%—a 36% decline in just three years. After 2011, Comoros settled into a relatively stable range between 2.3% and 2.7%, with minor fluctuations continuing through 2023. The consistent spending levels of recent years suggest stabilization around 2.3-2.4%, indicating the country has consolidated its education budget at a fraction of its earlier peak.
