Commercial bureaucratic obstacles and banking reform. Nothing.
Nothing has officially has moved forward or changed since DC/GAESA/Castro dynasty announced an approved package of economic reforms on June 12, 2026.
National Assembly approved the package unanimously on June 19.
Private banking has been officially authorized but there is **no public evidence that private banks have completed establishment or begun operations.**
**No licensing rules decrees announced.**
IOW, no protections for investors. Until then the US continues the choke hold on dollars.
There is no indication that just because of these economic measures that the US will relax the sanctions.
The pressure is linked to Helms-Burton. The "US policy Title II lays out that the US supports a free and independent Cuba - a transition government.** It's purpose is regime change.
Exclusion of **Fidel, Raúl, and the core Castro leadership** from any role in the new government.
No matter what reforms announced and the days go by. The US pressure stays unless the president switches off pieces of the Helms-Burton. Not likely with the current bulldog/lapdog Rubio.
Suspension/termination of the Helms-Burton is by regime change.And Congress formalizes it.
Nothing has happened on the Castro side that would ease the situation.
The people are caught in the middle of their oppression by their oppressors GAESA, the Castro dynasty.
