Opened on Thursday and chaired by PCC First Secretary and President Miguel Diaz-Canel, the meeting addresses the National Economy and Budget 2025 Plan’s proposal and the attention to state and non-state economic stockholders.

In the second part, the PCC members will assess the deviations and negative trends present in Cuban society and propose actions.

According to press reports, the CCPCC Economic Commission will present a report, including economic experts, university academics, economic stockholders, and members of grass-roots organizations and party and government structures, which was agreed upon by more than 90,000 people nationwide.

The document also debates some 1,000 proposals resulting from those exchanges, with a critical analysis of the national economic reality and proposals for solutions from the PCC structures.

Participants will examine, among other things, the mechanisms for promoting cooperatives, developing the Cuban strategy for macroeconomic stabilization, encouraging foreign investment and tourism, reviewing mechanisms for the allocation of foreign currency to companies, and Cuba’s foreign exchange market.
