The Minister of Economy and Planning, Alejandro Gil Fernandez, informed the deputies of the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) that the Cuban regime has a single business system and defined its framework as “socialist.”
“We always confirm that in the country there is a single business system, which has the objective of producing goods and services to satisfy the demands of the population and support economic and social growth,” said Gil Fernández in his presentation of the “Situation of the Cuban Economy” during the sessions of the X Legislature of the ANPP.
Made up of 16,253 entities, the Cuban socialist business system has 2,422 state entities and more than 5,000 cooperatives. Additionally, included in this model are the 103 mixed companies in Cuba (with the participation of the State), the almost 600 thousand self-employed workers and the more than 8,500 recently created MSMEs.
According to the minister - who completed five years in office on July 21 - it is in the state company where the greatest growth dynamics in the economy must be generated. Contrary to empirical evidence from the world economy, Gil Fernández insists that these state and socialist “forms of property” must be the driving force of the Cuban economy.
“It is a single business system with diverse forms of management and diverse forms of ownership, but with the same objective: it is a single socialist system,” said the head of economy, leaving for analysts the striking idea that the “objective” of the state business system is to remain “unique” and “socialist”, rather than producing goods and services profitably.
According to the site noverbal.es, experts in scientific non-verbal communication consider that touching the nose can indicate that someone is not telling the truth, since when we lie we involuntarily release a series of substances that can cause itching in the nose.
Gil Fernández touched his nose several times while explaining to the more than 500 ANPP deputies that the socialist business system is responsible for 87 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 75% of exports and 92% of net sales.
He was also touched while explaining that the transformation of 159 Base Business Units (UEB) into “subsidiary companies” gives them greater autonomy in their management, or when he referred to the 270 commercial companies (those known as S.A.) with capital 100 % Cuban, or the more than 100 MSMEs of the State.
“They are all socialist state companies”, assured the minister of the ruler Miguel Diaz-Canel. “This is the main economic actor. This is where we have to incorporate the transformations and look for ways to promote productivity.”
With one million 431 thousand workers employed in the socialist business system, the Minister of Economy of the Cuban regime warned that his ministry's policies will give priority to the state sector, introducing in its companies measures of "productive promotion" such as "investments", "incentives ” and other ways to boost your activity.
“We have under control... or state ownership the main means of production in the country: energy generation, telecommunications, an important part of transportation, railways, cement factories, steel factories... tourism in a general sense, the industry in a general sense,” he explained.
That is where the greatest dynamic of recovery of the economy and economic growth of the country should be generated, said the minister, “because it is where the main assets of our economy are; and this, of course, is the design of our economic model”
“It is the design that we have to defend,” concluded Gil Fernández in a presentation that received applause from the deputies when he ended by saying that “Cuba will also win in the economy.”
Troubled by a systemic crisis whose hemorrhage it cannot contain, the Cuban regime has launched itself to promote the nascent private sector on the Island, focusing on MSMEs as new economic actors, called to alleviate the shortages and high prices that hit the markets. pockets of citizens increasingly impoverished by the increase in inflation.
Recently, many Cubans reacted with indignation to a tweet from the United States Embassy in Havana, which celebrated the "important growth of the private sector" in Cuba and the "independence" of its companies, highlighting that this sector is on track to purchase more than a billion dollars in goods by the end of the year.
Very mobilized against this false image of economic openness, Cuban civil society He reminded the US diplomatic legation of the true nature of private businesses in the country, and their control by the leadership of the totalitarian regime, which Gil Fernández considers constitutive of the Cuban State.
"Do you know what this supposed private sector is? Investigate, investigate so that you can see that the supposed private sector is the dictatorship itself trying to show changes on the island, everyone knows that this is a fallacy," a woman told the diplomatic embassy. US.
“We are halfway there, but we are not doing well; you have to close ranks and speed up the pace"Gil Fernández recently said before the government's senior staff, the majority of whose members were already in the executive that developed and launched those known as “raulista reforms”, designed then by the ousted “czar of economic reforms”, Marino Murillo.
If his words were not a metaphor, the minister acknowledged that there are still 12 more years for “the guidelines” to bear fruit, a period of time that could double the destruction caused by the erroneous economic and social policy of the “revolution.” and the game".
