CUBA: Díaz-Canel reveals plans to ‘regulate’ private sector
Last month the new government led by President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced 20 measures – six decrees and 14 resolutions – to “regulate the activity” of the private sector. The measures, which will take effect as of December, will further tighten controls on 'cuentapropistas' (self-employed small entrepreneurs) and confirm that Díaz-Canel is not planning any further opening of the closed state economy.
