One year before the legislative elections scheduled for 6 February 2011, Prime Minister José Maria Neves (‘Partido Africano de Independência de Cabo Verde’, PAICV) conducted a minor cabinet reshuffle to improve his government’s image. The country strengthened ties with Europe and regional partners in both the Atlantic archipelagos and Africa.

The important tourism industry began to recover from its decline in the previous year. New investments were concentrated in banking and infrastructure, particularly renewable energy sources.
