Cuba-US sanctions, reforms and humanitarian crisis

Overview

Following the intensification of U.S. sanctions and a 176-measure reform package by Cuban authorities, the island’s humanitarian and economic situation has continued to decline. In early August, five independent economists released *Cuba Transformación*, a 109-page report urging public debate to stabilize the economy and expand freedoms.

On 8 August, UN human rights experts warned that U.S. sanctions risk turning Cuba into a “silent Gaza,” condemning the measures as an attempt to alter the constitutional order through coercion. The experts noted that fuel shortages have caused systemic failures, including interrupted water pumping and national power grid collapses. Sanctions have since expanded, with the U.S. Department of State and Treasury targeting the Cuban energy sector, entities linked to the military conglomerate Grupo de Administración S.A., and those involved in overseas medical missions, characterized as a “policy or pattern of forced labor.”

In the informal currency market, the U.S. dollar and euro have experienced ongoing fluctuations. By early September, the U.S. dollar reached a 30-day high of 683 CUP on 3 September, continuing a trend of upward pressure that saw it reach approximately 685 CUP by 5 September. The euro has remained the most valuable major reference currency in the parallel market, climbing to approximately 773 CUP on 3 September and reaching roughly 780 CUP by 5 September.

Conversely, the Moneda Libremente Convertible (MLC) has seen a decline, dropping from an indicative value of 509 CUP in early September to approximately 453.85 CUP by 5 September. These rising informal rates for major foreign currencies continue to widen the gap with the official Central Bank of Cuba rates.
