Cuba is implementing its most significant economic reforms since the Cuban Revolution, introducing measures to decentralize its state-run economy and allow for more private enterprise. These changes include enabling private businesses, direct imports and exports, and the authorization of private banks. The reforms are a response to a tightened U.S. embargo under President Donald Trump, which has severely impacted the island's economy, leading to widespread blackouts and restricted access to essential services. While inspired by models in Vietnam and China, the success of these reforms is contingent on the U.S. lifting its sanctions. AI
