AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Health & Safety: The U.S. Embassy in Havana issued a health alert for Cuba, citing a spike in diarrheal illness tied to worsening water and electricity infrastructure, urging travelers to avoid perishable foods improperly stored. Fuel/Energy Reality Check: CNN reports Cubans are leaning harder on solar, charcoal, and other improvisations as the oil blockade tightens, with power and refrigeration failures hitting daily life and even tourism demand (notably in Viñales). Economy Under Pressure: Cuban economist Pedro Monreal estimates GDP could shrink 26%–31% in 2026, far worse than prior forecasts, as state goods production drops and inflation worsens the outlook. Tourism Fallout: Multiple reports point to steep declines in visitor arrivals as sanctions and energy shortages deepen the crisis. Local Infrastructure: Havana authorities say new Chinese-backed solid-waste equipment (trucks and containers) will ease a “critically urgent” problem, but won’t be the definitive fix. On-the-ground Help: Varadero performer Limay Blanco is stepping in after an EcoFlow/solar theft left a Matanzas mother scrambling to keep her children powered during outages.
