Cuba faces historic economic crisis and hyperinflation
Cuba is facing a historic economic crisis characterized by severe hyperinflation and widespread shortages. In Havana, the situation has reached critical levels, with streets accumulating large amounts of waste and buildings falling into disrepair.
Hyperinflation is rapidly eroding purchasing power, with the prices of basic necessities often doubling within a few days. This has made it difficult for the majority of residents, including pensioners, to afford food. The collapse of the tourism sector and frequent power outages have further exacerbated the hardship. Many residents have resorted to scavenging through trash for usable materials or seeking irregular work to survive.
