00:00In Cuba, the economic measures announced at the Havana International Fair, in line with the government's program to correct distortions and reboot the economy, are generating expectations among Cuban and foreign business people.
00:14A correspondent, Isabel Díaz-González, has the details.
00:17For Cuban and foreign business people, the economic measures announced at the Havana International Fair have a direct impact on their business environment, amidst a tightening of the U.S. government's blockade of the largest of the Antilles.
00:34I believe that before discussing measures, we must discuss our conditions. Cubans are often tired of hearing about the blockade, but as a business person, I must remind them of it.
00:47It is something we all fight against, from my producer on the ground to the Minister of Economy, and Planning, and the Minister of MinSEX, it is this blockade.
00:56My competitors and I are not playing the same game because my competitors have five ships a week, and I have one, my competitors pay half of what I pay for containers, my competitors have direct shipping from Europe, and I have to send through three ports.
01:08My competitors get to Europe in three or two weeks, and I get there in four weeks. So the average Cuban needs to know that on the backs of our producers, ourselves, and the entire country, there is a heavy load of lead.
01:21So if we organize ourselves better, and there we go with the measures, we manage to remove some of the problems of the future, of the past, of the distortions we have in the economy.
01:30This is very good. It is necessary. Let's do it quickly. Let's all unite because that way Cuba will be better.
01:40That is why the measures aim to create mechanisms to boost the export of goods and services, as well as the integration of strategic sectors such as energy, tourism, culture, technology, and agriculture.

02:04We were founded in 1995. We specialize in the export of marabou charcoal, and the import of live animals.
02:12We work under a non-governmental management structure, and provide environmental sanitation services, among other things.
02:20We strongly support the new regulations, and believe that marketing should be promoted so that the country can also move forward.
02:31The fair has been very favorable for us. We have opened up new opportunities, signed letters of intent, entered the Asian market, expanded in the European market, and it has been very positive.
02:45The voices of Cuban business leaders present at FIT have 2025 agree on the importance of this step for the country's economic future.

02:58The new measures announced at the fair have been very important for ARTEX because they allow the company's import and export processes, as a cultural industry, to be more feasible, and to contribute more to the country's economy.
03:14As a result, the economic measures announced are being implemented rapidly, reinforcing Cuba's desire to become part of global trade flows, attract foreign capital, and stimulate national innovation.
