ASCE Webinar Series 2021: "Cuba's new monetary and exchange rate system; How are they progressing"?"

 

 

 

The Association for the Study of the Cuba Economy (ASCE) with the support of the Coalition for Peace and Ethics (CPE), has undertaken a webinar series. The object of this series is to draw attention to the work of leading scholars and actors involved in the examination of current issues of Cuban society, culture, politics, law, and economics from a national, regional or international perspective.

The first ASCE 2021 webinar was held 16 February 2021. It was entitled "Cuba's new monetary and exchange rate system; How are they progressing"?" For this program Carmelo Mesa Lago, Pavel Vidal, and Ricardo Torres discuss issues around the recent changes to the Cuban exchange rate and monetary unification, and the continuing challenges for the public and private sectors, for exports and foreign direct investment, and generally for Cuban macro-economic policy.

 We hope you find the discussion interesting and thought provoking We welcome your views. The video is posted to the CPE YouTube Channel (ASCE 2021 Interview Series Playlist) and the specific webinar may be accessed HERE.
