State President Raul Castro said Cuba will adopt new economic policies, including the expansion of private business, reduction of the redundant workforce in the State sector and the implementation of a new tax policy, but without abandoning socialism.
A draft of socio-economic polices to be taken by Cuba in the next five years have been discussed by CPC members and the public.
President Castro said the draft is a roadmap to perfect and make necessary changes to the Cuban economy, and in fact, a number of polices have already been enforced.
