Why it matters
The vote addresses the government's response to market volatility and the rising cost of living in Cape Verde. The opposition criticized the ruling party's handling of the fuel price issue, while the government stated the executive branch would take necessary measures.
An IMF team recently visited Cape Verde and discussed policy intentions with Francisco Carvalho.
