How this affects you
These measures, including expanding authorizations for private companies and allowing Cubans to invest in tourism, represent a significant shift in Cuba's economic model, potentially alleviating severe shortages and blackouts for its nearly 10 million residents. The proposed changes could lead to greater private sector involvement and direct international trade for private businesses.
