CUBA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The government continues to balance the need for loosening its socialist economic system against a desire for firm political control. The government in April 2011 held the first Cuban Communist Party Congress in almost 13 years, during which leaders approved a plan for wide-ranging economic changes. President Raul CASTRO said such changes were needed to update the economic model to ensure the survival of socialism. The government has expanded opportunities for self-employment and has introduced limited reforms, some initially implemented in the 1990s, to increase enterprise efficiency and alleviate serious shortages of food, consumer goods, services, and housing. The average Cuban's standard of living remains at a lower level than before the downturn of the 1990s, which was caused by the loss of Soviet aid and domestic inefficiencies. Since late 2000, Venezuela has been providing oil on preferential terms, and it currently supplies over 100,000 barrels per day of petroleum products. Cuba has been paying for the oil, in part, with the services of Cuban personnel in Venezuela including some 30,000 medical professionals.

 Final Opinion

 

The company was founded in 1950 and it is based in La Habana, Cuba.

 

It is a medium sized company, with 345 employees and operates as an importer of aircraft and equipment.

 

According to our figures, this Cuban company had negative profitability since 2006, operating also with high indebtedness. Moreover, payments are made in 128 days, which are considered long termed.

 

The financial data is continuously negative and showing a bad performance.

 

The country risk in Cuba will always be rated as “high”, as long as the political organization of the State is submitted to the socialist premises, jointly with the economic blockage made by the Kennedy administration in 1962.

 

The economical risk is determined by the consequence of those two elements. The Socialist State oriented premises makes the burocracy of the ruling party take care of the economy, which is, and has to be, planned after the consequences of the blockage. 

 

The blockage makes Cuba one of the less developed countries in Latin America, with a high indebtedness ratio and no possibilities of incorporating added value to the economy. There are no Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and neither a strong inner market to sustain any offer exceeding basic and only structural needed products, all of them controlled and directed by the State.

 

Therefore, there is a complete lack of competitiveness, which makes the economy operating in an always struggling scenario.

 

Based on those premises, we suggest working with guarantees.
