The monetary planning process, initiated in Cuba on January 1, has been recognized by experts as a stage of great complexity for the national economy.These financial transformations were expected to leave a positive balance in encouraging production and uncovering productive forces.

However, the spirituans question their most visible face because the salary reform, which sought to stimulate the work, has been made salt and water in front of the unstoppable climbing of runaway prices up to 10 times above the forecasts.

When the first year of entry into force of the so -called task order (TO) is completed, Escambray approaches the issue through the responses of Yudiana Afonso, coordinator of programs and objectives in the provincial government.

Beyond popular theory and opinions, how has the to the economy of Sancti Spíritus impact?

The ordering task has influenced some aspects positively, but there are issues in which it has not marched well and you have to continue working.Among them employment, because we have not been able to satisfy all the requests that the population has submitted to be able to have income in their daily lives.

9,814 people have requested employment and has accepted the offers 49 percent of them.We have municipalities such as Development and Taguasco that have no offers, unless it is on self -employment.We are doing a conciliation system with all our entities, mainly in the business sector, to look for these sources of employment, especially in agriculture, which is where more force is needed.

The other issue we have to continue working is in the quality of the offers that are made to the population, it is a priority to care for the dining rooms of the family care system, so that the products that are offered have quality andThey correspond to approved prices.

The other issue is the monitoring and control of prices because, although a group of actions has been executed, we have to continue facing abusive and speculative prices.A meeting was recently given in all municipalities, we are going to carry out a process in each of the establishments that offer services and sell retail, looking for people awareness so that prices do not grow beyond what is designed.

What balance has left the to state companies and private businesses?

This processesurged in a moment of increase in the global crisis, of the measures of the blockade of the United States and the appearance of the pandemic that has brought great scan of resources and that puts the economy in greater disproportion.

When we limited imports, as they did not have external financing to import, the productive levels that were initially designed were not achieved.It continues to work, especially with the business system of agriculture and with the productive bases to increase physical productions.

In the marketing and services companies, the TO have had a positive impact, excessively overcoming their economic indicators, for example, the community architect, legal services, Viamac.However, producing companies have been affected, have to guarantee exportable funds because it is the way they can improve their results.

In the case of new economic actors, there has also been affectation in income levels.In the province we have more than 8,000 workers on their own with activities suspended by health restrictions.The shortage of resources also limited them and decided to close.Now the possibility of opening new projects is appearing, work has been done on the approval of non -agricultural MSMEs and cooperatives, we have already approved more than 30.That will improve offers and guarantee the exchange with the state sector.

Retail inflation has been the fundamental deviation of this process, how to straighten the twisted path of prices?

Inflation is a problem that is solved by two ways: importing resources or producing nationally.The first cannot be taken because, as the Minister of Economy said, we have no money to buy.The solution is to produce nationally.

Has the State not valued that the upward trend of its prices also encourages individuals to raise rates?

It has been affecting to reduce a price level or at least that they do not continue to increase more than what had been planned, but in some productions they have been approving prices that undermine the provisions of the price policy to stabilize or decreaseThe approved.

The main dissatisfaction with respect to the TO is that the purchase capacity given by the salary reform has crashed into the real market prices, is it true that they intend to solve it with another increase in salaries?

Officially in government we have no indications on the subject.

What hopes do we have that the spiritual productive sector put a preoccourage?

Until 2020 the province brought sustained growth of net sales and commercial circulation, which did not behave like that during 2021.By 2022 we are designing a growth of the economy plans, especially increase the levels of physical productions, which still will not fully guarantee the needs.In a year only the economy is not recovered.

In his opinion, for what reasons did not meet the expectations generated?

The TO was designed with a level of growth in prices not exceeding two or three times in relation to how they had been behaving, but having limitations with the productions that are imported, difficulties with national productions, plus the shortage of resources, the prices designed are above the expected and then the salary reform today does not support the increase in those prices.

The other is that having a freely convertible formal market (MLC) there are people who do not receive it and sell illegally in the black market.For that, a confrontation strategy has also been designed, but an increase in the purchase of the MLC has been generated and that has triggered the price of the products of that offer.

And, although a level of products has been sought that are taken to the national currency market, especially chicken, oil and cleaning, today does not meet the needs of the population either.

The implementation of the TO was preceded by years of studies.According to your criteria, why in your application has the theory of reality been distanced so much?

Because it was done at a time when everything was exacerbated with the appearance of the pandemic, the resurgence of the blockade and the global crisis that has put on the knees in the country and the province compliance with what had been designed.

Today a dollar is quoted by informal transfer in more than 80 pesos.It is rumored that they will cancel that possibility and sell this currency in Cadeca.

So far we have no indications on the subject.

As an economist, what formulas would they propose to overcome the main distortions that weigh the paths of recovery?

Continue to exercise control in each of our entities, increase productive levels in a sustained way, lookWhat represents as a source of financing, it is also necessary.

Finally, do you consider this process an ordering or monetary disorder, as some call it jociously?

The process was carried out to order.Today the rise in prices is not only because of the TO, several factors have influenced.Disorder has not been the product of what was designed in the.The TO has resulted in some issues that were being done during the previous years with some irregularities.The other is that it gave the possibility to our business system to implement 43 new measures that strengthen it, seeking increase in productions that guarantee the needs of the people.
