Abstract
The US-Cuban rapprochement announced on December 17, 2014 will have profound effects on the Cuban economy and, therefore, on economic policy. To begin to understand how policy is likely to change and the probable timing and sequence of any adjustments, we first need to look at the direct economic effects of measures introduced so far and those that are likely to follow in the near future. This provides some indications concerning the more far-reaching repercussions of the change in bilateral relations for the Cuban economy and economic policy over the longer term.
