The measures would allow private banks, private real estate development, businesses with more than 100 employees, ownership of multiple companies, and the sale of state-owned property to both Cubans and foreign investors. President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Cuba was “not renouncing socialism” and the moves were not related to negotiations with the U.S. He said the reforms would be “beneficial” to the country amid decades of U.S. sanctions and a recent U.S. oil blockade that has pushed Cuba’s economy deeper into crisis.
