The economy is service    oriented, with commerce, transport, and public services accounting for    60% of GDP. Although nearly 70% of the population lives in rural    areas, agriculture's share of GDP is only 20%; the fishing sector    accounts for 4%. About 90% of food must be imported. The fishing    potential, mostly lobster and tuna, is not fully exploited. Cape Verde    annually runs a high trade deficit, financed by remittances from    emigrants and foreign aid, which form important supplements to GDP.    Economic reforms, launched by the new democratic government in 1991,    are aimed at developing the private sector and attracting foreign    investment to diversify the economy. Prospects for 1995 depend heavily    on the maintenance of aid flows, remittances, and the momentum of the    government's development program.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $410 million (1993    est.)       National product real growth rate: 3.5% (1992 est.)       National product per capita: $1,000 (1993 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 7% (1992)       Unemployment rate: 26% (1990 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $174 million    expenditures: $235 million, including capital expenditures of $165    million (1993 est.)       Exports: $4.4 million (f.o.b., 1992 est.)    commodities: fish, bananas, hides and skins    partners: Netherlands, Portugal, Angola       Imports: $173 million (c.i.f., 1992 est.)    commodities: foodstuffs, consumer goods, industrial products,    transport equipment    partners: Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Spain       External debt: $156 million (1991)       Industrial production: growth rate 3.6% (1990 est.); accounts for 8%    of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 15,000 kW    production: 40 million kWh    consumption per capita: 73 kWh (1993)       Industries: fish processing, salt mining, garment industry, ship    repair, construction materials, food and beverage production       Agriculture: accounts for 20% of GDP (including fishing); largely    subsistence farming; bananas are the only export crop; other crops -    corn, beans, sweet potatoes, coffee; growth potential of agricultural    sector limited by poor soils and scanty rainfall; annual food imports    required; fish catch provides for both domestic consumption and small    exports       Illicit drugs: increasingly used as a transshipment point for illicit    drugs moving from Latin America and Africa destined for Western Europe       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY75-90), $93 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-90), $586 million; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $12 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $36 million       Currency: 1 Cape Verdean escudo (CVEsc) = 100 centavos       Exchange rates: Cape Verdean escudos (CVEsc) per US$1 - 85.537 (1st    Quarter 1994), 80.427 (1993), 68.018 (1992), 71.408 (1991), 70.031    (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Cape Verde:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 1,100 km (1992)    paved: 680 km    unpaved: 420 km       Ports: Mindelo, Praia, Tarrafal       Merchant marine:    total: 7 (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 11,609 GRT/19,052 DWT cargo 6,    chemical tanker 1       Airports:    total: 6    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 5       Cape Verde:Communications       Telephone system: over 1,700 telephones; telephine density - about 4    telephones/1,000 persons    local: NA    intercity: interisland microwave radio relay system, high frequency    radio links to Senegal and Guinea-Bissau    international: 2 coaxial submarine cables; 1 Atlantic Ocean INTELSAT    earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 1, FM 6, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1    televisions: NA       Cape Verde:Defense Forces       Branches: People's Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARP; includes Army and    Navy), Security Service       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 80,867; males fit for military    service 47,225 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $3.4 million, NA% of    GDP (1994)
