Summary

Cabo Verde’s medium-term outlook is positive, supported by the authorities’ policy package to respond to the evolving impacts of the war in Ukraine and their commitments to the recovery process and the ECF in a challenging environment. The economy rebounded strongly in 2022 with GDP growth of 17.7 percent, although average inflation increased to 7.9 percent at end-December 2022 driven by higher food, electricity, gas, and transportation costs. The new Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development 2022-2026 (PEDS II) sets the reform agenda to overcome challenges to sustainable development. The economy remains vulnerable to internal and external risks. In this context, the ECF will support the authorities’ plans towards economic and social progress, as well as the environmental challenges facing the country in its development process, while seeking to reduce debt levels and mitigate risks.
