For the Cuban economy, the year that ends was another of unfulfilled plans and unmaterialized solutions.

A review of some of the most significant economic aspects of the last twelve months in Cuba.

The island still lacks a stable and lasting solution to the power generation problems that have plagued it for decades.

The indicator’s general trend on the island barely changes over time and shows resistance to declining.

The socioeconomic conditions are coupled with the behavior of the infant mortality rate on the island.

The deployment of DTV in Cuba depends on the availability of the required means and on the Cubans being able to afford them.

The country does not import cement. Therefore, it must produce as much as it needs to meet the domestic demand; but the accumulation of several factors has put the national industry on a tightrope for a whole decade.

Cuba does need foreign currency. What is not clear is whether the social cost the nation will pay for this partial dollarization will be worth it.

The worst part continues to be carried by the Cubans. They must settle for a number of appointments less than the demand and, many times, they are involved in scams.

The Zone and the economic line of foreign investment in Cuba have an outstanding debt with the development of the country.

The modifications that have been reported are especially related to the sending of packages and imports by passengers.

The history of the Panamanian diplomatic venue and Cubans had its “days of glory.” But they are now a shadow of the past.

On the dollarization board, remittances are the essential piece.

Given the insoluble lack of chemical fertilizers, the country has directed efforts and money to mitigate the demand for nutrients of many of its crops with the production of natural bioproducts.

Powdered milk is considered a basic food for the Cuban population. The dependence on imports of this merchandise places the island in second place in Latin America and the Caribbean.
