Last update: 2 hours agoBusiness Rules: Comoros’ July law reserves some small-scale trading activities for citizens by birth. Though not yet enforced, it has raised fears among Malagasy traders, many of them women, who depend on shop income to support families. Supporters say foreign entrepreneurs remain welcome in sectors where the country needs skills or investment. Water Crisis: Moroni’s ageing supply network is leaving residents reliant on costly private sellers and long trips to find water. A 2023 survey found 75.3% of people collecting water took more than 30 minutes to reach a source, adding pressure on households in a country where the minimum wage is about €100. Fisheries: A World Bank study warns that climate change threatens Comoros’ small-scale fishing sector and coastal livelihoods. Under a high-emissions scenario, the country’s maximum catch potential could fall by about 60%, underscoring the need to invest in more resilient fisheries and marine ecosystems.
