The increase in prices in more than a hundred <\/span>construction products<\/span><\/a> caused concern among Cuban consumers, although another major part will continue to be subsidized by the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Agencia Cubana de Noticias news agency<\/span><\/a>, some 124 products, of the 550 in stock in the construction materials stores, will increase in price due to the increase in production costs for the country\u2019s industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

49 of the most demanded will have an increase, while in others the retail prices are maintained and the loss they generate in the industry is subsidized by the State, according to Minister of Domestic Trade Betsy D\u00edaz Vel\u00e1zquez on the Mesa Redonda television program.<\/span><\/p>\n
