and kickstart the economy in 2024
By Benjamin Noria
HAVANA TIMES – Today, I was rereading page 2 of the Cuban newspaper Granma dated December 21, 2023, the column titled: “Breaking inertia so the economy can grow requires correcting distortions.”
It deals with: The government’s projections to correct errors and kickstart the economy in 2024, presented by Manuel Marrero, Prime Minister of Cuba, in December 2023.
In the fifth paragraph it stated that: “The central government and its institutions noted it is evident that the capacities have not been adequately articulated to exercise control in the implementation of policies and activities related to the economy and services, and these are issues that we have to transform in 2024.” Furthermore, he said that “a strengthened Ministry of Economy is needed, one that exercises its true function and removes those that have separated it from its main activity.”
Now, I believe it is not the grandiose and demagogic speeches that will change the country’s economy,
