1. Introduction:Cape Verde is becoming more and more consolidated on the world market as a holiday destination with great potential.Its wild, exotic landscapes, the excellent sandy beaches with crystal clear water, the deep ocean full of fish, coral andmarine archaeology, along with the unique conditions for practicing water sports, the warm nights filled with irresistiblemusical rhythms and last but not less important, the delightful, outgoing personality of the people make this archipelago aparadise set in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean.

At the beginning of 2008, Cape Verde abandoned the Group of Low Income Countries and entered the group of MiddleIncome Countries (according to OECD criteria). In addition, from July 2008, the archipelago is a member of the WTO, whichstrengthens the multilateral trading system and will enable it to continue integrating into the world economy.

From 1991 the country has been applying market-orientated economic policies, making foreign investment easier,encouraging the private sector through privatisation and by developing tourism, light manufacturing industries and thefishing industry. It has also improved transportation, communications and electricity installations.

Furthermore, the integration of Cape Verde into the world economy and the development of the private sector, backed upby the arrival of large groups of foreign investors, a key element in the development of the country, have made it necessaryto set up a legal framework that no only offers attractive incentives for investment, but also provides security that willfacilitate and guarantee foreign investment in the country.
