Blue Economy: The Latent Potential of Fisheries and Aquaculture in Cabo Verde
Poverty and Economic Recovery
- Cabo Verde’s economy recovered strongly post-COVID-19, with GDP growth stabilizing at 5.1% in 2023 (pre-pandemic levels partially achieved).
- Poverty stood at 15.1% in 2023 (above pre-pandemic 14.1%), driven by high food inflation (9.1% in 2023) despite economic growth.
- Services sector (including tourism) led job creation, but real incomes were dampened by inflation. Tourism arrivals reached over 1 million in 2023, stabilizing exports.
Government Deficits and Debt Risks
- The fiscal deficit improved to -0.3% in 2023 from -4.1% in 2022, but public debt reached 113.8% of GDP (up from 108.5% pre-pandemic).
- SOE reforms aim to reduce reliance on budget support via privatization, concessions, and PPPs. Public guarantees for SOEs reached $40.2 million in 2023.
- Debt sustainability remains fragile, with risks amplified by climate change and external shocks. New policy recommendations stress revenue mobilization and fiscal consolidation.
Fisheries and Aquaculture: Opportunities and Challenges
- Fisheries support 40% of employment and contribute ~3.4% to GDP. EU exports dominated in 2022 (~$32 million), but climate change, overfishing, and outdated infrastructure hinder growth.
- EU derogation (expired in 2023) allowed processed Cabo Verdean fish to meet EU origin rules, but its return threatens export reliance.
- Small-scale fishing faces limited infrastructure (e.g., refrigeration), high informality, and weak governance.
- Aquaculture offers diversification potential with favorable local conditions, but needs zoning planning, technical training, and investment in infrastructure.
Priority Policy Recommendations
- Enhance data collection and scientific monitoring for sustainable fisheries management and climate-resilient growth.
- Promote artisanal-to-semi-industrial fleet conversion and post-harvest handling improvements, especially for small and women fishers.
- Strengthen regulatory frameworks for aquaculture and coastal zones to boost investment and align with climate goals.
- Integrate blue economy goals into broader economic reforms, prioritizing green and digital investments.
Outlook
- Cabo Verde’s blue economy holds latent potential for diversification and resilience, but requires coordinated policy action, investment, and environmental stewardship to mitigate climate and market risks.
