Business & Jobs
Statistics, trade, taxes, private businesses, jobs and economic analysis.
Cuba's private sector has grown since small and medium-sized private businesses (MIPYMES) were legalized in 2021. This section brings together official economy, trade, statistics and tax institutions, along with private platforms, chambers of commerce and economic research centers on and off the island.
For trade or investment from abroad, also check your own country's rules; for the U.S., OFAC regulations are in the Paperwork section.
