The opening of the new supermarket 3ra y 70, located under the Gran Muthu Habana Hotel, dominated the headlines of Cuba’s independent press in the first days of 2025.
Social media reactions, citizen reports, and press coverage highlight the widespread indignation among Cubans over the store’s policy: purchases can only be made with cash in foreign currency or international and certain domestic cards.
In December 2023, during his speech to the National Assembly, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz promised that in 2024, the “mechanisms for supervision and regulation of the governmental control system over the private sector” would improve.
Almost four years after the monetary unification that forced many Cubans to convert their “foreign currency savings accounts” into “certificates of deposit”. The excuse given to Daymi, Iran, and other clients of any Cuban bank is almost always the same: “we don’t have liquidity.”
A meeting of private business owners with a Deputy Minister of Finance and Prices exposes tensions over new price caps.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury announced significant amendments to several embargo regulations on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. These amendments aim to expand Internet access and promote private entrepreneurship in Cuba.
The appearance of a truck carrying sacks of rice and another with powdered milk after the protest that took place in Santiago de Cuba on March 17, 2024, was no coincidence. The authorities in the eastern city attempted to appease the citizens with some food.
The shortage of condoms has led to an increase in sexually transmitted infections and a reported increase in the number of people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Photos of bananas being handed out as a bonus to high school teachers in Guantanamo went viral on social media this week and became a joke that led to dozens of memes.
Analysis of the increase in violence and insecurity in Cuba as reflected in the Global Peace Index 2023. Causes and consequences of the phenomenon.
The severe shortage of coffee in Cuba, high prices in the informal market and uncertainty about future harvests and imports have meant that this beverage, which used to be an accessible and standardized product in Cuba, has become a luxury item.
Galloping inflation, fiscal deficit, bankarization and financial corralito are some of the economic terms frequently heard in Cuba. Economist Pavel Vidal reflected on this during a live broadcast of elTOQUE.
The meteorological drought that is plaguing Cuba adds to the many other shortages that make up the systemic crisis in which the country finds itself. In this case, the aggravating factor is greater because water is a vital and indispensable resource for human beings.
The latest migration wave of Cubans has put relationships to the test, whether these are between family members, friends or couples.
News of burglaries and even murders to seize vehicles and clothing have been reported on social networks and in the media. However, little has been reported on the increase in crimes of this type in recent years or the conclusion of the cases.
The shortage of bread has been one of the main concerns of Cubans for several weeks.
