Migration & Remittances: Despite tighter migration enforcement, remittances to low- and middle-income countries kept rising, with IFAD reporting resilience driven largely by family needs. Telecom & Digital Footprint: AXIAN Telecom’s shift to the Yas Group identity follows a broader rebrand across Comoros and other markets—part of a push toward unified digital infrastructure and fintech services.
