Los precios de una clínica privada en Cuba y la brecha que revelan entre el mercado informal y los ingresos reales

A private medical clinic in Camagüey, Cuba, has publicized a price list for its services, charging USD 30 for medical consultations and USD 105 for laboratory check-ups. These costs are calculated based on the informal market exchange rate, which currently stands at 768 Cuban pesos (CUP) per dollar.

At these rates, the services amount to 23,040 CUP and 80,640 CUP, respectively. The publication of these prices highlights a significant disparity between the costs of private healthcare services and the real income levels of the Cuban population, illustrating the economic gap created by the reliance on informal currency markets.
