Re: Investment in Cape Verde Islands
Outside of it's territorial waters there are some disputed oilfields, and some of the big hitters in West Africa are angling for a slice. The growing instability in the region (from Nigeria to Eq. Guinea to Senegal) have meant that there have been continual and recent instances of refugees landing on the islands having come in by boat. Okay, so it happens in the Canaries too, but in Cape Verde it has not been given the same coverage yet.

For anyone interested in the environmental problems facing Cape Verde;
And to put it in perspective have a read of Jared Diamond's excellent new book 'Collapse';

Re: Investment in Cape Verde Islands
It doesnt mean full inclusion yet, but allows for a major shift for CV as they have already opted out of its combined trade agreements it had with EU while being part of the West African Alliance. They now have the ear of the commission as does Madeira, Azores and Canarys
Looks like its starting to happen. The EU Commission has formally written to CV government to enter into talks in having a "special relationship" similar to the other island groups that lie in the Atlantic off Africa.

Has anyone invested in CV? I am thinking of investing (with some friends). We are looking to raise c €100k by spring 2008, and are wondering which country offers best growth/rental return investment over 5-7 yr time frame.
Other countries on the list are brazil, portugal, and lithuania.
Cape verde seems to be the best country in its infancy though-and seems to have big potential.
Some thoughts/ideas would maybe help in our decision making.

Just a quick note to let you know that it's possible to raise a mortgage in Cape Verde now (if you need one!).

If you are an investor you will no doubt have looked into net rental yields achievable in the Cape Verde market. If you have you will be aware of transaction costs, taxation, management, maintenance costs, rental values and and probable occupancy percentages. You will also have taken a view on the impact of new build supply on the fundamentals of your investment, you will be familiar with immediate and mid term investor targeted developments, Cape Verde strategic planning policy etc.
