Cabo Verde: Unlocking Inclusive Growth Through Increased Resilience and Equal Opportunities
Cabo Verde's economy continues on a strong recovery path, according to the latest Cabo Verde Economic Update 2025, released today by the World Bank. Real GDP in Cabo Verde grew by 7.3% in 2024, supported by robust tourism activity and a modest recovery in agriculture. However, while the country has made notable strides – particularly in macroeconomic management, debt reduction, and poverty alleviation – key vulnerabilities remain. These include reliance on tourism, exposure to external shocks, and fiscal pressures from state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The report, titled Unlocking Women's Economic Potential, analyses the country's economic growth projections, highlights progress on poverty alleviation, and outlines the structural reforms needed to ensure sustained and inclusive growth. The report also includes a special topic, focused on leveraging women's economic potential. 'Cabo Verde's recovery is a testament to the resilience of its people and institutions. But to transform this rebound into lasting and inclusive prosperity, bold reforms are needed - particularly to improve SOE governance, support women's economic participation, and diversify the economy,' said Indira Campos, World Bank Resident Representative for Cabo Verde. The report notes that inflation dropped to 1% in 2024 – its lowest level in recent years – helping to bring poverty down to 14.4% ($3.65 a day 2017PPP line). Public investment execution increased, debt levels continued to decline, and the current account posted a surplus for the first time in four years. Looking ahead, GDP growth is projected at 5.9% in 2025, with poverty expected to fall further. However, the report warns that global uncertainties, commodity price shocks, and climate risks could affect the pace of growth and reform. Among the recommendations, the report calls for accelerated efforts to improve SOE performance, prudence in creating new ventures, and for maintaining fiscal discipline while investing in high-impact projects. The report highlights the critical need for policies to ensure growth is inclusive. Despite progress in education and health, Cabo Verdean women continue to face labor market barriers. The report finds that closing gender gaps in employment and earnings could boost GDP by up to 12.2% in the long-term. To achieve this, the report recommends: Expanding access to childcare and flexible work arrangements. Promoting women's skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as in technical and vocational education and training. Tackling employer discrimination and transforming social norms. ' By aligning reform efforts with inclusive policies, Cabo Verde has a unique opportunity to strengthen resilience, empower more citizens – especially women – and build a more sustainable and equitable future,' said Anna Carlotta Massingue, Senior Country Economist.

Empowering solutions for South Africa's energy future
Electricity Expo Africa 2025 ( is set to convene South Africa's leading minds and innovators in the energy sector, offering a critical platform for tangible solutions to the nation's power crisis. Taking place from 19 to 21 August 2025 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, this inaugural event arrives at a pivotal moment as the country grapples with persistent energy instability. Themed 'Empowering Solutions for South Africa's Energy Future', the Expo will address national grid constraints, accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, promote off-grid innovation, mitigate load shedding, and modernise infrastructure and regulation. Organised by the Electrical Contractors Association (SA) and the South African Electrical Workers Association (SAEWA) and proudly endorsed by the National Bargaining Council for the Electrical Industry, Electricity Expo Africa 2025 ( is a focused space for stakeholders committed to real-world impact. "Electricity is the engine of development. This Expo is more than just an industry gathering – it's a national imperative, a call to action for every stakeholder invested in South Africa's future," said Jimmy Turner, Chairperson of Electricity Expo Africa. "We are uniting solution-providers, policymakers, and communities to collectively transform South Africa's energy landscape from one of scarcity to one of reliability and abundance." Three Pillars of Focus 1. Confronting the National Grid Crisis South Africa's ageing grid requires urgent intervention. At the heart of the Expo is a drive to modernise infrastructure through automation, smart diagnostics, and maintenance innovations. By gathering grid experts and transmission specialists, the event will foster knowledge exchange on how to prevent failures and accelerate national upgrade projects. This effort supports the National Energy Action Plan, which aims to restore Eskom's reliability and accelerate the development of new power capacity. "Ending load shedding requires more than just talk; it demands real tools, smart systems, and urgent implementation of practical solutions," emphasised Turner. "This Expo will present actionable answers – from cutting-edge grid technologies that bolster resilience to policy reforms that streamline infrastructure development. It's about turning challenges into opportunities for growth." 2. Accelerating Renewable and Off-Grid Solutions South Africa's energy future depends on a diversified generation mix. With the rapid rise of solar adoption – from 2,300 MW in 2022 to over 5,400 MW by early 2024 – the Expo will highlight solar PV, wind, and battery storage technologies that enable homes, businesses, and municipalities to generate electricity independently and reduce their reliance on the national grid. Over 130 IPP projects, totalling roughly 22,500 MW, are also in the pipeline. At the Expo, both large-scale and decentralised innovations will be on display, including off-grid and mini-grid solutions for rural and high-risk areas. Attendees will engage directly with tech developers and solution providers, demonstrating the tools needed to power communities and commercial hubs even in the absence of national supply. 3. Innovation in Policy, Infrastructure, and Regulation The recent Electricity Regulation Amendment Act marks a new era for South Africa's electricity sector, introducing reforms such as an independent transmission system operator and a competitive power market. But policy must match pace with technology. Electricity Expo Africa 2025 ( will feature high-level discussions with government, regulators, and industry leaders. Topics include streamlining licences for renewables, energy storage incentives, updated grid codes, and infrastructure financing – crucial considering the estimated R390 billion needed for national grid expansion. "We are not just showcasing innovation; we are driving a national movement towards a resilient, inclusive electricity system," added Turner. "Electricity Expo Africa 2025 is where solutions become action, fostering the collaboration between government, industry, and civil society that is essential for a truly sustainable energy future." Who Needs to Be There Electricity Expo Africa 2025 will host over 150 exhibitors and more than 60 expert speakers, creating a platform for high-impact visibility and engagement. Key participants will include: Policymakers and Energy Officials – Sharing reforms and strategic plans. Municipal Utility Leaders – Highlighting local innovation and micro-grids. Renewable Energy Innovators – Showcasing new generation technologies. Grid Technology and Storage Providers – Presenting advanced smart-grid systems. Financing and Infrastructure Partners – Exploring capital mobilisation and PPPs. Community Energy Access Organisations – Championing equitable power access. This expansive programme creates a rare opportunity for businesses to place their innovations at the centre of national dialogue and development. Turner underscores the dual opportunity for exhibitors: "Exhibiting at Electricity Expo Africa 2025 is more than a marketing opportunity – it's a chance to fuel your company's growth and help power South Africa's energy transformation. We encourage businesses large and small to showcase their innovations at the Expo, where they can build valuable relationships and play a role in securing the nation's energy future."

The expansion follows increased interest in private aviation across Southeast Asia and Greater China, driven by growth in wealth creation, family offices, and luxury travel preferences. The new network builds on Private Jet Media's existing presence in the GCC and Europe, extending its footprint to more than 50 terminals worldwide.
