Cape Verde Time (CVT) operates at UTC−1 hour year-round, with no daylight saving time adjustments. Sometimes called "Cabo Verde Standard Time," CVT is the official time zone for the Cape Verde islands off the coast of West Africa, providing a consistent and reliable time reference across the entire archipelago.
Importance and Global Use of CVT
CVT is important for supporting daily life, tourism, and government services throughout Cape Verde. A stable and uniform time zone helps manage schedules for transport, port operations, and public administration, which is vital for an island nation that depends heavily on connectivity and tourism.
On the international front, Cape Verde Time helps coordinate trade, travel, and business with Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Its UTC−1 offset supports easier scheduling with regional and global partners, strengthening Cape Verde's ties to international shipping, aviation, and economic networks.
