The news starts about ten paragraphs into this Granma
story on a Central Committee meeting on economic policy. New “legal norms”
affecting Cuba’s more than 580,000 cuentapropistas
have been signed and will soon be issued, and there will be some kind of
“training” for them and 30,000 officials, presumably to promote tax and
regulatory compliance.
Apart from that, monetary unification remains a high
priority, there are plans to continue investing in the industries (construction
materials, etc.) that enable improvement of housing stock, and work continues
on constitutional reform to make Cuba’s constitution reflect “the principal
economic, political, and social transformations” resulting from the last two
party congresses. No mention of term limits or new laws governing the election
process, comminications media, or non-government entities, all of which have
been said to be under consideration.
