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. 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.

To address economic conditions, the Central Bank of Cuba introduced new 10,000 and 20,000 peso banknotes on 16 September. However, currency volatility remains acute. Throughout late August and September 2026, the U.S. dollar and euro saw a steady climb in the informal market, with the dollar breaching the 700-peso threshold in mid-September and the euro reaching 855 CUP by late September. By late October, the U.S. dollar hit a record 827 pesos in the informal market, while the euro reached 915 CUP.

Despite a 6.12% nominal increase in average monthly state salaries since April, rising inflation and devaluation have severely eroded purchasing power. Annual inflation in the formal market reached 25.19% in August. At the 827-peso rate, the average monthly state salary of 7,354 pesos is worth approximately US$8.89, making remittances from abroad vital for many families.
