About the Cape Verdean Escudo
The escudo became Cabo Verde's currency at independence from Portugal in 1975, replacing the Portuguese escudo that had circulated under colonial rule. Since 1998 it has been pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 110.265 escudos per euro (inherited from its earlier peg to the Portuguese escudo), giving the country's economy — heavily reliant on tourism and remittances from Cabo Verdeans abroad — a stable currency anchor.
