Cuba’s First Dollar Grocery Store Sparks Debate | DRM News | AF15

Cuba has opened its first grocery store in nearly two decades that accepts U.S. dollars, signaling a shift in its economic strategy. Located in Havana's Miramar neighborhood, the store caters to those with access to foreign currency, easing access to goods amidst a struggling economy. The government aims to use dollar revenue from such stores to fund vital social programs like healthcare and subsidized food. However, this "partial dollarization" highlights rising inequality, as many Cubans lack access to U.S. currency. The move comes amid worsening U.S.-Cuba relations, which may intensify the country's dollar shortage.
