Cabo Verde CPV

Executive summary

Cabo Verde maintains an adequate credibility position with a composite score of 64.1/100, though a large credibility gap of 99.7/100 highlights significant misalignment between policy and expectations. The absence of central bank policy rate data and communication signals limits assessment of inflation dynamics and rate appropriateness. Geopolitical risks remain moderate at 47.5/100, with recent events including a travel warning, a major infrastructure deal with China, and rising public safety concerns. The country’s regional ranking at #27 of 44 in Sub-Saharan Africa suggests moderate resilience, but continued monitoring of geopolitical and health-related risks is crucial for institutional investors assessing long-term macroeconomic stability.
