| Sumari: | This paper analyzes economic developments in Cape Verde during 1990-99.

This situation resulted in the rapid accumulation of domestic debt and the depletion of foreign reserves to a level as low as half a month of imports in early 1996. Largely as a result of fiscal contraction and droughts, growth rates of real GDP during 1996-98 seemed to have slowed down to some extent. |
