The economy of my country, Cuba, is complicated and very hard for most people. We live with low salaries that are not enough to cover the real prices of basic goods. There is a strong dependence on imports, remittances, and tourism, while national production is insufficient. The State controls a large part of the economy, and the private sector exists but with many restrictions and taxes, which leads to shortages, inflation, and a constant loss of purchasing power in everyday life.
