Why should people and economies save?
The typical answer usually focuses on the need to protect against future shocks, to smooth consumption during hard times, in short, to save for the proverbial rainy day. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has made available an Executive Summary titled: Saving for Development: How Latin America and the Caribbean Can Save More and Better.
This book approaches the question from a slightly different angle. While saving to survive the bad times is important, saving to thrive in the good times is what really counts. People must save to invest in their own and their children's health and education, live productive, fulfilling lives, and end their days in comfort and peace. Firms must save so they can grow productive enterprises that employ more workers in better jobs to produce quality goods for domestic and international markets. Governments must save to build bridges, highways, and airports that support a productive economy, to provide quality services to their citizens, and to assure their senior citizens a dignified, worry-free retirement. In short, countries must save for a sunny day; a time when everyone can bask in the benefits of growth, prosperity, and well-being. This book explores how households, firms, and governments can address the savings problem in Latin America and the Caribbean in pursuit of that sunny day. See more at: publications.iadb.

Doing Business in Cuba
The 2016 – 2017 Edition of CARIBBEAN EXPORT OUTLOOK magazine, published by The Caribbean Export Development Agency features an article on Doing Business In Cuba, which may be of interest to you. Following is an excerpt from the article:
A market of over 12 million people is nothing for Caribbean exporters to thumb their noses at. That’s the kind of market from which any company in CARICOM would benefit. So when CARICOM and Cuba signed a reciprocal Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement 15 years ago, it provided exporters in the region with access to millions of potential customers. The reciprocal agreement, which focused mainly on trade in goods, gave dutyfree or duty reduced entry to Cuba of specific goods such as fruit juices, sauces, condiments, seasonings, and clothing from the CARICOM region. While the agreement is now, more or less, inactive, several established companies have taken advantage of the opportunity of access to the Cuban market, though not without having to overcome several hurdles Baron Foods Limited, a Saint Lucian manufacturing company with a Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 V3 certified product range of 165 condiments and beverages is one such company. Five of its condiments and sauces have been approved and accepted for sale in the Cuban market and the company is awaiting a confirmed order from TRD Caribe, one of the largest food and beverage distributors in Cuba. It’s also eyeing the hotel and tourism sector and retail stores. Chief Executive Officer Ronald Ramjattan says it would have been remiss of his 24-year-old company, which is already in several other markets in the region, not to have looked at Cuba. “Cuba is a new and emerging market with over 12 million inhabitants sharing a similar culture and food preference with the rest of the Caribbean people,” he says. “The Cuban market is similar in many aspects to the rest of the Caribbean, even though the Spanish influence does have its fair share of difference from us.”…TO READ MORE OPEN THIS LINK AND VIEW PAGE 34 – carib-export.us5.list-
