This issue of Cuba Economic Review offers an early look at the package of economic measures announced by the Cuban government on June 18. In Deep examines the 176 reform measures—on paper, the broadest market opening the island has seen since 1959, but in practice far more limited, and held back by sanctions, debt, property claims, Cuba’s absence from the international financial institutions, and the social and political cost of the proposal itself. By the numbers shows how trade, tourism, remittances, and investment are tilting Cuba toward the United States—whose influence increasingly reaches well beyond sanctions. Quick Takes sums up the week’s developments: new U.S. sanctions on Cuban entities, the Supreme Court ruling for Exxon against CIMEX, U.S. capital edging closer to Sherritt’s assets, Trafigura cutting off Cuban zinc, the collapse of tourism, and the rebound in inflation. Lastly, Recommended Readings brings together two sharp assessments of Cuba’s new reform package: Tamarys Bahamonde asks whether the measures mark a real turning point or just another adjustment, while Pavel Vidal weighs their potential benefits against three key limits—credibility, sequencing, and financing.
