Share of World GDP: Cabo Verde

Analysis# Cabo Verde Share of World GDP Cabo Verde currently accounts for 0.003% of global GDP in 2026, representing a 50% increase from its 1980 low of 0.002%. The country peaked at 0.004% in 2007, before contracting slightly during the subsequent global financial downturn. Despite nearly five decades of economic growth, Cabo Verde remains one of the world's smallest economies by this measure, reflecting its status as a small island nation with limited productive capacity. The past seven years reveal a plateau rather than continued expansion. From 2017 through 2026, Cabo Verde's share has remained fixed at 0.003%, suggesting a mature growth trajectory aligned with global economic expansion rates. Projections through 2030 indicate this stabilization will persist, with no significant gains expected to narrow the gap toward the 2007 peak.
