HIDALGO DE LOS SANTOS, Vilma y CRIBEIRO DIAZ, Yordanka. Strategy for Growth and Macroeconomic balance in Cuba. Econ. y Desarrollo [online]. 2015, vol.153, suppl.1, pp. 30-48. ISSN 0252-8584.
Guaranteeing a sustainable growth is one of the challenges of Cuba's current economic model updating. This work asses the sources and restrictions of economic growth in Cuba, in order to evaluate the requirements in a gradual growth strategy. To this end, a formal model of macroeconomic consistency in a six year scenario is designed. The resulting projections show a relative adjustment of consumption and public spending in favor of capital gross formation. Likewise, combining growth goals with a reduction in external debt demands to recompose external funding in favor of direct foreign investment. A more favorable scenario will only be possible due to an increase in growth rates, backed by an increase in total factor productivity and qualification contribution; better efficiency and effectiveness of public spending and a gradual improvement in trade elasticity, as a result of the necessaries structural changes.
