Speaking
to the press after a meeting with representatives of the National
Association of Economists and Accountants of Cuba (ANEC), Murillo
called to work smarter, with organization and creativity, as the
challenges continue to be huge and complex.
Murillo said that only by producing material goods the country can
move forward.
After reiterating that the GDP will increase this year, the Minister
said that growth must be accompanied by sustainable development.
Murillo stressed on the need for Cuba to ensure the expected income
to address problems, as requested by the Cuban President Raúl
Castro, speaking last December before the National Parliament
Assembly.
On the policy followed by the Cuban government toward foreign
investment, the Minister stressed that there are well defined legal
regulations and explained that the doors remain open to those who
can provide market, finance and technology.
Murillo underscored the valuable contribution can make economists
and accountants all over the country regarding the search for
solutions to the problems of the nation, such as export promotion
and substitution imports.
These issues occupied the attention of a workshop held today at the
headquarters of that organization, also involving Antonio Carricarte,
First Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment,
Roberto Verrier, president of ANEC, academics and representatives of
various entities.
