The Cuban government will announce this Tuesday night a group of new economic measures, at a time when the island is going through an energy crisis caused by difficulties in the arrival of fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The measures will be presented by Vice President Salvador Vald\u00e9s Mesa and several ministers at the Mesa Redonda TV program, which will be broadcast at 7:00 pm Cuba time on the main channels and radio stations in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ministers who will be in this news program are Minister of Economy Alejandro Gil; of Finance and Prices Meisi Bola\u00f1os; of Domestic Trade Betsy D\u00edaz; of Foreign Trade and Investment Rodrigo Malmierca; as well as the minister-president of the Central Bank of Cuba, Irma Margarita Mart\u00ednez, and the first vice president of the state corporation CIMEX, Iset Maritza Vel\u00e1zquez.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>official press release<\/span><\/a> does not provide advances on the nature of the measures, but the fact that the ministers of transportation and energy and mines will not be present suggests that they are not directly related to the fuel deficit in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, taking into account the officials who will participate in the program, the announcements could be related to the sale and distribution of products, monetary availability and financial flow.<\/span><\/p>\n
