AGP Executive Report

Last update: 39 minutes ago

Labor & Market Reforms: Cuba’s state-backed Workers’ Federation Congress heard Deputy PM Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga present the government’s 176 “transformations,” framed as not a return to capitalism, while still pushing more space for private business, foreign investment, decentralization, and new financial operations. Union Mobilization: President Miguel Díaz-Canel used the same CTC closing to set five priorities—defense, an “economic battle” tied to the 2026 program, political participation, and a push to defend the Revolution on social media—arguing reforms won’t work without workers and union leaders. Currency Volatility: Havana’s dollar market swung hard in June, jumping from about 600 to 700 CUP before dropping back near 660, feeding fast price changes for goods priced in national currency. Power Crisis: Sancti Spíritus reported outages exceeding 40–50 hours and a major SEN deficit, with limited generation availability and overload risk when power returns. Healthcare Supply Strain: Sancti Spíritus acknowledged shortages of 300+ medications, while claiming “stable” coverage for priority programs like hemodialysis and maternal-infant care. Sanctions Pressure: The U.S. imposed new sanctions on five Cuban state entities, including GAESA-linked firms and a Castro family member, citing repression and security concerns. Humanitarian Logistics: Cuba celebrated UN World Food Programme approval to continue cooperation despite U.S. pressure, with the program running to 2030. Local Security Drills: Camagüey rehearsed responses to a hypothetical bombing amid ongoing electricity and water shortages. Energy Access Help: A Cuban mother publicly appealed for a solar panel to cool a room for her children during blackouts while they recover from infectious mononucleosis.
