Cuban goverment officially approved partial Dollarization of the Economy
The measures legalize transactions in foreign currencies (including the US dollar and other currencies) for both individuals and businesses, effectively institutionalizing partial dollarization.
Well that’s…interesting. Chainsaw man meets communism?

This was one of the strangest headlines I’ve ever read and I needed to re-read it a few times, completely unexpected 😭

Having lived through partial dollarization in Venezuela this is both a blessing (it slows down inflation and eases handling everyday transactions) and a curse (wages do not necessarily go up and the dollar is weakening rn)
Overall, not that great if they cannot commit to real free market reforms or have the heavier sanctions lifted.

Remember there was that effort post a year or so ago that insisted that Cuba was about to collapse?
