Cabo Verde Implements 2026 State Budget Framework
Cabo Verde has launched its 2026 state budget, projecting 6% GDP growth, 1.6% inflation, and sound fiscal discipline.
Cabo Verde has formally adopted its 2026 state budget amounting to 95.7 billion escudos (about €870 million), setting a framework for continued economic expansion. The budget forecasts GDP growth of around 6%, with inflation projected at approximately 1.6% and an unemployment rate of 7.3%. A key objective is to keep the budget deficit at about 0.9% of GDP, reflecting disciplined public finances and efforts to reduce debt. The plan prioritizes capital investment, social transfers, and targeted reforms to enhance resilience, reduce poverty, and position the country toward high‑income status over the next decade. The budget aligns with ongoing IMF and World Bank programs that emphasize fiscal prudence and inclusive growth.
