An analytical assessment of where Cuba's economy has been, where it stands, and the trajectory of its key sectors, benchmarked against the Dominican Republic's open-market path. Every figure carries its source and date.
An overview of the full opportunity set, computed from the sector model below: the highest-priority near-term opportunity, the distribution of the sectors by readiness and cluster, the sectors ranked by opportunity scale against barriers to entry, and a currency series that shapes every margin.
Each sector is positioned by current market openness (left = open now) against opportunity scale, colored by cluster and sized by attractiveness. Sectors in the upper-left quadrant represent the highest combination of market readiness and opportunity scale; sectors in the upper-right warrant staged positioning for a later horizon. Select any sector for its latest news, resources, and analysis.
Solid lines denote reported history; dashed segments are directional projections synthesized from the cited sources, not official forecasts. The data describes two economies in parallel: a contracting state sector and an expanding diaspora-dollar private sector.
For the highest-priority sectors, the data on where each has been, where it stands, and the direction of travel. Select any card for the full briefing.
