Cuba has approved multiple market reforms to its economy, including the reintroduction of private real estate development, privatization of state-owned businesses, and the entry of private banks into the finance sector. This marks a significant expansion of the nearly 200 free-market reforms unveiled earlier this week, aimed at rescuing the communist island from a severe crisis aggravated by a US oil blockade. The new measures represent a historic shift toward private enterprise in Cuba's state-controlled economy.
