Marino Murillo, Cuban Economy and Planning Minister said this Friday in Havana that Cuba began 2010 with better organization over the previous year, although the international situation remains tense.
    
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.
