Havana, April 11 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez criticized the global economic order today and called for a change to a more just and democratic one.
As he commented on the social network X, “58.9 percent of the reserves allocated by central banks around the world are held in dollars.” This, the Chancellor added, is an “advantage that the North exploits to snatch almost a trillion dollars a year from the South.”
“There is an urgent need to create a new international order that guarantees the right to development for all states,” he concluded.
In various national and international forums, Cuban authorities have called for transformations in the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization, among other multilateral institutions with essential roles in the global economic dynamic.
For the Caribbean nation’s government, the international economic order must guarantee sovereignty, peace, balance, environmental sustainability, and equal opportunities for growth for all nations of the world.
