Havana, Sept 30 (ACN) The Cuban government’s plan to correct economic distortions and boost the local economy is advancing but not at the desired speed, said Economy Minister Joaquin Alonso in a recent meeting of the Cuban Council of Ministers.
Alonso said that while the actions already taken are still incipient, some economic indicators show certain change to the better, which suggests more efforts.
Prime Minister Manuel Marrero said that the most important result out of the actions taken is the reduction of the budget deficit. However, he noted that although important actions have been taken, they have not yet had a direct positive impact on the people.
Marrero stressed the need to prioritize actions like addressing high prices of basic consumer goods, the need to increase local production, which would directly benefit the people.
