Put your money in a safe place

Buy a fully furnished apartment in the Santa Maria holiday village on the island of Sal. For just € 90,000 – the price of a garage in Europe - you can buy a magnificent two-room flat. And if you rent it out when you're not using it yourself, the investment will bring an even higher return.

For example:

ESTIMATED GROSS RETURN IN 5 YEARS

*Property appreciation in the next five years is expected to be half that of the last five years

Anyone investing in Cape Verde does so for one of two reasons, either to live or holiday there, or to earn an income. Both cases offer a series of fiscal and financial advantages:

- 6% growth rate in 2004

- the world's fastest growing tourist destination

Cape Verde is a democratic society open to foreign investment, which is actively promoted at a government level.

C.V. escudo with a fixed euro conversion rate; tax laws with a minimum taxation on assets and income.

PEACE AND QUIET

Cape Verde is a peaceful open-minded society with enviable political and social stability.

Absolute personal safety allows foreigners to live and socialise easily with the local residents.

African nature and European culture blend in this modern and tolerant country, where political and religious freedom are guaranteed.

If you are disappointed by financial investments in Europe that earn a mere 2-3%, you can now invest in property in Cape Verde, which has doubled in value in the last 5 years yet is still extremely affordable – and yields a very high rental income.

A dream holiday home in the tropics, ready to use or rent out, costs the same as a garage in Milan. Think about it .
