Marrero also reported the approval of the organization’s nomenclatures of import and export, conditioning the service to the certificate of no-tax debt, implementing the collections and payments of non-state management forms from accounts in Cuban banks, and declaring the origin of the funds through them.

The politician explained that after evaluating the results of the export and import operations carried out through non-state management forms and the 73 companies approved for imports, it was decided to deny this faculty to 24, due to low activity and poor functioning.

Marrero indicated that tariff payment for imports of raw materials and intermediate goods was reduced by 50 percent for all economic actors, to encourage national production, using installed capacities.

According to the prime minister, Cuba will have among its priorities in the second semester the policy of monetary price and fiscal control, the promotion of national production and supply to the population, the increase in foreign currency income, the diversification of exports and the improvement of the socialist state enterprise.
