State of the Nation: PM highlights "robust growth" and projects high-income country

Praia, July 31 (Inforpress) – The Prime Minister stated today, in the State of the Nation Debate, that Cabo Verde is experiencing “robust economic growth, social advances and strategic investments” that will propel it towards the status of a High Income Country in the coming years.

In his speech during the ordinary session this Thursday, July 31, Ulisses Correia e Silva highlighted that “Cabo Verde is confident about the future”, being “stronger, more resilient and with better prospects”.

The head of government recalled that the country faced "the most serious global health and economic crisis since the Second World War," due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the inflationary crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, which "caused energy and food prices to rise."

"We faced these crises head-on. We took the right measures, protected people, recovered and relaunched the economy with robust economic growth, reduced inflation and public debt, and reduced unemployment and poverty," he stressed.
