Historic reform: Cuba opens the door to private enterprise

Cuba is implementing historic economic reforms allowing private companies and foreign investors to acquire shares in state-owned enterprises. The reforms aim to address an ongoing economic crisis exacerbated by U.S. sanctions and a recent oil blockade. Cuba faces power outages, food shortages, and other challenges, but officials emphasize the reforms are not due to pressure from the U.S., but to preserve socialism.

Tujim vlagateljem po novem ne bo več treba ustanavljati skupnih podjetij z državo, dovoljena bodo velika zasebna podjetja, kubanski in tuji vlagatelji pa bodo lahko pridobivali deleže v državnih podjetjih.

Premier Manuel Marrero točne časovnice uveljavitve ukrepov ni navedel, je pa kubanski predsednik Miguel Diaz-Canel v sredo izpostavil potrebo po "nujnih spremembah", da bi preprečili gospodarski zlom.

Naftna blokada je kubansko že tako pešajoče gospodarstvo pripeljala na rob propada. Država se sooča z izpadi električne energije, ki včasih trajajo več kot 30 ur, ter pomanjkanjem hrane, goriva, pitne vode in zdravil.

Poudaril pa je, da vlada reforme ne uvaja zaradi pritiska ZDA, temveč da bi ohranila socializem.

Marrero pa je zagotovil, da se Kuba zaradi reform "nikakor ne bo odpovedala družbeni odgovornosti". Napovedal je tudi načrte za zmanjšanje števila ministrstev in javnih uslužbencev.
