The Cuban government has decided to implement a forced bankarization and an accelerated digitalization of the payment system in just six months. They expect this to happen in a country with one of the most backward telecommunications infrastructures and one of the least developed banking systems and payment instruments in the region.
When domestic prices grow at a higher rate than the exchange rate in the informal market, the incentive for MSMEs is not to produce, export and substitute imports, but to flood the domestic market with imported goods.
