The Heritage Foundation (a Washington DC Think Tank) and WSJ Index of Economic Freedom Report for 2009 was released earlier this month. It came as no surprise that Cape Verde continues on the rise. Although its best mark was in the category of Monetary Freedom where Cape Verde scored a whopping 76.9, where it really did exceptionally well was in the category of Property Rights, scoring an awesome 70.00 points, where the overall (179 countries) average was 44.0. An added bonus is that Cape Verde came in ahead of some of its main competitors when it comes to attracting European investment in second homes abroad and residential tourism – Poland, Greece, Egypt and Tunisia.
