History
Until 1975, under Portuguese rule, statistics were done by the Provincial Statistics Bureau (''Repartição Provincial de Estatística''), part of the Instituto Nacional de Estatística of Portugal. When Cape Verde became independent, the ''Serviço Nacional de Estatística'' (SNE, Portuguese for the National Statistics Service) was established, part of the Ministry of Economy. Its first president was Edgard Chrysostome Pinto. At the end of 1985, the Directorate-General of Statistics was created. In 1996, the new law of the National Statistics System was approved, and the ''Istituto Nacional de Estatística'' (INE) was created under the direction of Francisco Fernandes Tavares.
