Hare Comments on Cuban Economic Reform
Ambassador Paul Hare, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was quoted in a Reuters article discussing economic reform and foreign investment in Cuba.
The article, titled “Cuba needs deeper economic reform, creditors say,” discussed Cuba’s dire economic situation – exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic – and fielded responses from experts on the country’s handling of the situation. Hare said that the Cuban government should “deregulate small business and foreign investment to foster growth and absorb labor.”
