Cabrisas emphasized that the second semester will demand a great effort (first from left to right).
HAVANA, Cuba. – The realization of several measures has mitigated the unfavorable impact on economy during the first semester, what does not mean that all the problems are solved, Ricardo Cabrisas, Cuban minister of Economy and Planning said.
When analyzing the execution of the Economy Plan up to now, Cabrisas underlined that efficiency in the business sector, the fulfillment of export earnings, the production of imports, the energy carriers´ rational use, and the efficient implementation of investments are still priority issues.
He emphasized that the second semester will demand a great effort, as the sugar harvest and the high season of tourism concluded, so he insisted on working with more integrity and rigor.
The parliamentarians discussed crucial economic issues based on the results of the auditing in more than two thousand entities.
More responsible and consequential
Discipline, order and demand are the maxims to guarantee quality in the railway transportation service, and a long life of its infrastructure, said today the Cuban Minister of Transport, Adel Yzquierdo.
During the analysis made by the Attention to Services Committee of the National Assembly of People’s Power, Yzquierdo referred to criminal acts and illegalities, which joined to insufficient equipment, poor state of the roads, and lack of training of workers, affect the quality of service.
In light of those mitigating facts, the Cuban Minister of Transport urged the Railways Union of Cuba to pay attention to their companies and to promote measures to fulfill their mission integrally.
The company, strategic in the National Plan of Economic and Social Development, failed to fulfill its plans of public transportation and cargo last year, generating losses to the country and dissatisfaction to passengers.
AZCUBA Replaces Imports
The Cuban Minister of Transport, Adel Yzquierdo.
In the Agrifood Committee, Didier Estevez, vice-president of AZCUBA, informed the members of the Cuban Parliament that the productive increases in sugar and derivatives are directly linked to the investment program.
He noted that the group is updating its projection up to 2024, seeking financing alternatives in the medium and long term in different markets.
Estevez explained that because of the negotiations six bioelectrics are in progress and must get going in 2021.
The official said AZCUBA contributes to the concept of substitution of imports because they have saved up to now more than 39 million in CUC through the generation of electricity and animal feed.
