Why Cape Verde's stability signals deserve a closer look
Cape Verde combines several supportive macro and institutional signals. Inflation was 2.34% in 2025, producing an inflation score of 95, while political stability reached the 79.04 percentile in the 2024 governance data. Capital mobility scores 75, and the broader governance score is 66. The current account was 3.53% of GDP in 2025. Those strengths help explain the overall Investor Score of 60, but they should be read in the context of a small population of 527,326 in 2025 and GDP per capita of $5,796.47 that year, rather than as proof that any specific investment is accessible or suitable.
Debt and credit quality are the central constraints
Government debt is estimated at 102.23% of GDP for 2026, and the debt score is 26, the weakest available component in Cape Verde's profile. Sovereign credit also scores 40: S&P published a B rating with a Positive outlook on 16 August 2024, while Fitch published a B rating with a Stable outlook on 13 May 2025. These figures make fiscal resilience and financing conditions essential parts of research. Central-government debt is unavailable, so it cannot be used to confirm or replace the broader government-debt measure.
Use the scorecard to sequence Cape Verde research
Begin with the profile's more complete signals: tax scores 68, currency 67, governance 66, banking 64 and capital mobility 75. Then test whether the weaker stocks-and-ETFs score of 38 affects the instrument, venue or provider under review. Internet use was 74.74% in 2024, a useful country context but not evidence of brokerage access. Market capitalisation, listed-company count and market depth are unavailable, so the scorecard cannot establish local market breadth. Compare Cape Verde with published peers such as Botswana, eSwatini, Senegal, Mauritius and Morocco before examining provider-level terms.
