The institutional test 
8 Low risk of fiscal crisis: commitment, institution-building
Stagnation: 
is the Cuban economy stuck? 
• Unemployment: low risk - high commitment to 
full employment 
slow productivity growth = bad for growth 
• Inflation: low risk - fear of rising cost of living 
 distorted prices persist = bad for growth 
• Fiscal crisis: low risk - discipline and high taxes 
 squeeze on public and private investment = bad for 
growth 
• So where is growth coming from?? 
Disruption is necessary; can it be managed?
