Cabo Verde’s economy is facing significant economic challenges associated with the lingering effects of the pandemic, as well as rising food and fuel prices triggered by the war in Ukraine. Climate change is also creating new difficulties after a fourth consecutive drought year. The economy rebounded strongly in 2021 following the COVID-19 induced recession in 2020, due in part to the authorities’ effective policy response, including one of the most successful vaccination programs in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the spillover effects of the Ukraine war are likely to weaken the economic recovery, worsen the fiscal and external positions, lead to higher inflation, and result in a substantial decline in international reserves. As a result, strong policy measures are needed to shore up international reserves, preserve debt sustainability, increase resilience to shocks, including climate change adaptation and mitigation, and make growth more inclusive.

This paper presents Cabo Verde’s First Review under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Arrangement. The strong and broad-based recovery of the Cabo Verde economy continued in 2022. The economy has now recorded five consecutive quarters of positive growth, supported by a rebound in the tourism sector. This helped improve the fiscal position and place the debt-to-gross domestic product ratio on a downward path. International reserves are adequate, and the financial sector remains resilient. It is important to continue efforts to preserve fiscal and debt sustainability and accelerate economic reforms while aiding the vulnerable and supporting the economic recovery. The authorities are focused on preserving fiscal and debt sustainability, providing support to the vulnerable and supporting the economic recovery. Over the medium term, fiscal consolidation would be supported by advances in revenue mobilization particularly through the digitalization of services and reforms to reduce risk from state-owned-enterprises. Monetary and financial policy remains focused on protecting the peg and safeguarding financial sector stability.
