What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything produced in Cabo Verde in a year by the number of residents, using current US dollar prices. Because it is measured in current dollars, price changes and exchange rate moves feed into the figure alongside real growth. It is an average, so it hides how income is spread between households, and it leaves out unpaid work.
Higher is better. Higher is better because more output per person gives an economy more room for household incomes, business investment and public services. The latest figure, for 2025, is $5,796, against $5,170 a year earlier, a rise of 12.1%. Since 2016 the lowest level was $3,539 in 2020, and the 2025 figure is the highest in that span. The latest reading therefore sits at the top of its own range.
Why it matters. Output of $5,796 per person gives Cabo Verde's government a larger economy to draw taxes from and gives firms a bigger domestic market than in 2020, when the figure was $3,539. The $626.3 added per person over the past year is an average, so how much of it reaches a given household depends on wages, jobs and prices. Next year's figure will show whether this level holds.
