Cuba opens first wholesale market in Sancti Spíritus, minimum purchase $200

Cuba's first wholesale market opens in Sancti Spíritus, offering rice, diapers, and whiskey with a minimum purchase of $200 or 24,000 pesos, payable by card or cash. This marks a notable shift in Cuba's state-controlled retail system, signaling gradual economic liberalization. The move is part of broader reforms but remains limited in scope and uncertain in impact.
