Cuba se queda sin dinero en efectivo

cuba se queda sin dinero en efectivo

pesos cubanos

La escasez de pesos cubanos en efectivo se ha convertido en una dificultad adicional para los habitantes de Cuba, quienes ya enfrentan apagones, desabastecimiento de alimentos y medicinas, y escasez de combustible.

Alejandro Fonseca, administrador de una tienda de alimentos en La Habana, experimentó esta realidad al hacer largas filas en busca de dinero en efectivo, sólo para descubrir que el cajero automático se había quedado sin fondos justo antes de su turno.

Tras un arduo recorrido en su triciclo eléctrico y varias horas perdidas, finalmente logró retirar dinero en otra sucursal.

Esta situación se repite en varios puntos de la capital, donde las filas fuera de los bancos y cajeros automáticos se han vuelto una constante, según reportó AP.

Ramiro Pupo, trabajador independiente, compartió su frustración tras varios días de intentos fallidos por obtener efectivo. Cuando finalmente lo consiguió, su alivio fue palpable, aunque mezclado con indignación por las dificultades enfrentadas.

Según Omar Everleny Pérez, economista cubano y profesor en diversas universidades internacionales, la escasez de efectivo se debe a múltiples factores, todos relacionados con la persistente crisis económica de la isla.

Entre las causas destacó el creciente déficit fiscal, la ausencia de billetes de alta denominación, una inflación galopante y la retención de efectivo por parte de empresarios que desconfían de la banca y prefieren convertir sus ingresos en divisas extranjeras tan pronto como sea posible.

En un país donde la conversión de pesos cubanos a divisas es complicada debido a las variaciones en los tipos de cambio entre los mercados formal e informal, muchos empresarios optan por acumular pesos en efectivo para luego intercambiarlos en el mercado paralelo, donde la tasa puede ser significativamente más alta.

Mientras tanto, la población en general sufre las consecuencias de no poder acceder fácilmente al dinero que necesitan para su día a día, sumando otra capa de estrés a la ya complicada situación económica y social que vive Cuba.
