However, perhaps the greatest praise should be held back for the regulatory and legal framework in this overseas property hotspot of less than 500,000 inhabitants. The Cape Verdean authorities are being held up as an example to many other developing nations around the world, with their willingness to work with and for the benefit of overseas investors, and the Cape Verde itself, with the ultimate goal of attracting increasing levels of tourism income to the islands. While many countries, small and large, around the world have attempted to attract overseas investment without offering the legal protections required, Cape Verde has chosen not alienate foreign direct investors but ensuring it has a strong regulatory framework in place.
Commenting on the Cape Verde’s legal system, Chintan Mahida, Nubricks.com Overseas Property Expert said, “In simple terms, the laws of Cape Verde do not differentiate between foreign investors and local businesses, offering a level of security and rights, something which is somewhat lacking in some developing nations and creates a huge barrier to entry for international property investors”.
It has been stated that as a direct result of the flurry of trade agreements and memberships of international organisations, Cape Verde products have enjoyed access to a massive 500 million consumers worldwide. The increasing wealth of the Cape Verde nation has laid some great foundations for a growing real estate market, one which many early-bird international investors have already profited from and many intend to keep a very close eye on, with a view to taking advantage of any future investment opportunities which may lie in Cape Verde’s pipeline.
