Cuban Deputy Osvaldo Martinez said on Sunday that Cuba's economic growth for the coming year, estimated at 1.9 percent, will have to be achieved in a global economy scenario where uncertainty about the possible course of the global crisis prevails.
    
In his address to participants in the National Assembly of the People's Power underway at Havana’s Convention Centre, the president of the Commission for Economic Affairs said the challenge Cuba will face in 2010 will not be smaller than the one the island confronted throughout the current year, "but we have, he said, a profound revolution, based on social justice”.
 
Martinez described as a real deed the maintenance of national stability and social achievements, despite the severe limitations posed by the international economic and financial crisis, the U.S. blockade and the effects of the 2008 hurricanes.
