Overall Interpretation
The score of 86/100 reflects an environment that is extremely challenging for Canadian interests in Cuba. The combination of:
- severe energy shortages
- structural economic deterioration
- fragile operational conditions
- the decline in tourism affects the inflow of foreign currency
- extreme financial risk
- increasing geopolitical pressures
creates a scenario where Canadian companies face significant risks in continuity, payments, logistics, and reputation. Canadian investors must remain vigilant to evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.
