With the exception of computer science businesses located within science and technology parks, the regulations that govern telecommunications on the island prohibit the creation of 100% foreign capital companies in the sector.

Cuba plans to approve some 30 businesses with foreign capital valued at $3 billion in 2021, according to the island’s general director of Foreign Investment, Carlos Luis Jorge.

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment (MINCEX) stated last December that these businesses are in an advanced stage of negotiation and should carry out their feasibility studies, taking into account the elimination of the monetary and exchange duality, Prensa Latina reported.

He affirmed that foreign investors who have businesses in Cuba will benefit from the monetary reorganization process came into effect on the island on January 1, as it will allow businesspeople to better calculate their investments, in a more balanced scenario.

Likewise, the establishment of centralized prices by the government will help lower the operating costs of these entities, Jorge said.
