Understanding Cuba’s Private Sector: A New Report

Is Cuba’s private sector merely a safety valve during times of crisis, or can it become the driving force of deeper transformation? That is the central question addressed by a new report prepared by economist Ricardo Torres Pérez, which we present in this special edition of Cuba Review. The study offers a rigorous and up-to-date analysis of a sector that has become essential for understanding Cuba’s economy today. Drawing on official data and the recent evolution of both small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and self-employment, the report examines their growth amid the island’s ongoing crisis, the barriers that still limit private enterprise development, and its prospects for the near future.
