8 Current Economic Environment
Potential access to a substantial transatlantic consumer base Existing Trade Agreements: USA – AGOA, SGP, USAID West Africa – ECOWAS Europe – COTONOU Privileged relationship with Portuguese speaking countries, Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique Cape Verde has one of the highest GDP per capita in the region Currency exchange parity with Euro Portugal acting as guarantor The textile industry benefited from an agreement with the USA under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets. Some companies are changing their export strategy to focus on the US market where duty-free access (for goods of 100% origin) can take place. AGOA has assisted a rapid growth in sales.

Hub and Spoke Concept at Sal Airport To and from: North America Africa Europe South America

20 African needs Rapid response to emergency situations to be organised
Dedicated facilities Bulk Food storage Chilled storage Perishable products High value items (security conscious) Spare parts for machinery Reduced stock holdings “Just in Time” logistics Food storage, e.g. wheat, other vegetables & fruit Chilled storage, e.g. vaccines, medical products for HIV treatment, etc. High value items (security conscious): Gold, foreign currency reserves, printed notes, etc. Reduced stock holdings such as practised in “Just in Time” logistics

Computer equipment Car industry Apparel Dedicated facilities: Fish handling facilities Bulk Food storage Flowers storage Apparel, fashion textiles Food storage, e.g. wheat, other vegetables & fruit Flowers storage. Light weight & high value

22 Integrator Requirements:
Attracting UPS – FedEx or similar integrators 24 Hours of operation Airfield capacity Airport services Labour practices Customs facilities Safety Service network Market Location Airport Management Support Night flying restrictions Night weather record Security Labour practices: Carriers would like to do their own handling
