Cape Verde annually runs a high trade deficit, financed by foreign aid and remittances from emigrants; remittances constitute a supplement to GDP of more than 20%. Economic reforms, launched by the new democratic government in 1991, are aimed at developing the private sector and attracting foreign investment to diversify the economy. Since 1991, the policies the government has pursued include an open welcome to foreign investors and a far-reaching privatization program. </p><p>Fish and shellfish are plentiful, and small quantities are exported.

Although nearly 35% of the population lives in rural areas, the share of <a href="/wiki/Agriculture" title="Agriculture">agriculture</a> in GDP in 2010 was only 9.2% (up from 8.9% in 1995); of the 1998 total, <a href="/wiki/Fishing" title="Fishing">fishing</a> accounts for 1.5%. </p><p>The Cape Verdean government established the top priorities for development as the promotion of a market economy and of the private sector; the development of tourism, light manufacturing industries, and fisheries; and the development of transport, communications, and energy facilities. In 1994-95 Cape Verde received a total of about U.S.$50 million in foreign investments, of which 50% was in industry, 19% in tourism, and 31% in fisheries and services. Prospects for 2000 depend heavily on the maintenance of aid flows, remittances, and the momentum of the government's development program. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mineral_industry">Mineral industry</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Cape_Verde&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Mineral industry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Mining is an insignificant contributor to the country's economy.<sup id="cite_ref-yearbook_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yearbook-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of the country's mineral requirements are imported.<sup id="cite_ref-yearbook_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yearbook-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As of 2007, production of mineral commodities was limited to <a href="/wiki/Clay" title="Clay">clay</a> on the islands of <a href="/wiki/Boa_Vista,_Cape_Verde" title="Boa Vista, Cape Verde">Boa Vista</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sal,_Cape_Verde" title="Sal, Cape Verde">Sal</a>, and <a href="/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Vicente,_Cape_Verde" title="São Vicente, Cape Verde">São Vicente</a>; <a href="/wiki/Gypsum" title="Gypsum">gypsum</a> and <a href="/wiki/Iron_ore" title="Iron ore">iron ore</a> on the island of <a href="/wiki/Maio,_Cape_Verde" title="Maio, Cape Verde">Maio</a>; <a href="/wiki/Limestone" title="Limestone">limestone</a> on the islands of Boa Vista, Sal, and <a href="/wiki/Santo_Ant%C3%A3o,_Cape_Verde" title="Santo Antão, Cape Verde">Santo Antão</a>; <a href="/wiki/Pozzolana" title="Pozzolana">pozzolana</a> on the island of Santo Antão; and <a href="/wiki/Salt_evaporation_pond" title="Salt evaporation pond">salt</a> on the islands of Maio and Sal.<sup id="cite_ref-yearbook_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yearbook-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cape Verde was not a natural gas or petroleum producer as of 2007.<sup id="cite_ref-yearbook_7-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yearbook-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Transportation">Transportation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Cape_Verde&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Transportation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg/220px-Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg/330px-Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg/440px-Harbour_in_Mindelo.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="3024" /></a><figcaption>Shipyard at Mindelo</figcaption></figure> <p>Cape Verde's strategic location at the crossroads of mid-Atlantic air and sea lanes has been enhanced by significant improvements at Mindelo's harbour (Porto Grande) and at Sal's international airport.
