Cabo Verde 1999

In 1999, the population of Cape Verde was estimated to be around 430,000 people. The economy of Cape Verde was largely based on services, fishing, and manufacturing exports. Its foreign relations were mainly with other African countries such as Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and Gambia. Politically, Cape Verde in 1999 was a semi-presidential republic under President António Mascarenhas Monteiro. The Prime Minister was Carlos Veiga and his party held a majority in Parliament.
