Cape Verde Consumer Price Index Monthly Change
A monthly measure of how prices paid by households in Cabo Verde have changed since the previous month.
Full explanation
Cape Verde Inflation Rate MoM measures the percentage change in consumer prices from one month to the next. It is derived from the National Consumer Price Index, which tracks prices of goods and services purchased by resident households. The measure gives a short-term view of changes in the cost of living, while the official inflation rate may also be presented using longer comparison periods. It is compiled monthly by Cabo Verde's National Statistics Institute.
Why traders watch it

Market interpretation
- CVE interest-rate and government-bond markets
- Unexpected price changes may affect views on inflation persistence and the policy environment.
- Cabo Verde escudo-related markets
- The result can add context to domestic inflation and macroeconomic assessments, although liquidity and other local factors also matter.
Stronger vs weaker outcomes
A higher-than-expected monthly increase may suggest firmer near-term consumer-price pressure, while a lower or negative reading may suggest softer pressure. Market interpretation can also depend on the annual rate, the underlying price categories and whether the movement reflects volatile items.
A higher-than-expected monthly reading may indicate stronger near-term price pressure, particularly if increases are broad across spending categories.
A lower-than-expected or negative monthly reading may indicate softer near-term price pressure, though temporary falls in volatile categories can affect the result.
Higher monthly CPI growth can indicate firmer near-term price pressure; lower growth can indicate softer pressure.
Typical volatility
Moderate. Month-to-month CPI movements can be volatile, especially when food, energy, transport or seasonal prices change. A single monthly result should be assessed alongside annual, average and core inflation measures where available.
Trading considerations
- Compare the monthly result with the year-on-year and average inflation measures rather than viewing it in isolation.
- Review the category breakdown to distinguish broad price pressure from moves concentrated in volatile components.
- Check whether the index level, weights, seasonal patterns or methodology have changed.
- Allow for potentially wider spreads and thinner liquidity around scheduled economic releases.
