Alejandro Gil was put in charge of Cuba ’s economy in 2018 , but after a six-year spell in office, his management was defined by unmitigated failure.
Every recovery plan he announced crashed, among them the so-called Tarea ordenamiento of 2021 , which promised Cubans a better standard of living by bringing the dual currency to an end and revising prices.
Gil was promoted to the post of Economy Minister the same year Díaz-Canel assumed the presidency.
Experts agree that one of the worst economic decisions involving Gil was the so-called Tarea ordenamiento of 2021 , which sought to bring Cuba out of economic stagnation by shelving the dual currency, eliminating the convertible peso, and implementing a reform regarding prices, salaries, and pensions.
Some say that the government, with Díaz-Canel as president, is trying to whitewash itself.
Gil ’s sister, María Victoria Gil , told YouTuber Darwin Santana that her brother had significant disagreements within the upper echelons of the government on economic policies.
Vidal: “They want to be able to wipe the slate clean after so many failures — all the things that have gone wrong with the economy, and all the promises that have not been fulfilled in terms of recovery”.
