Reaching Out: Cuba’s New Economy and The International Response

On November 18, 2011 The Brookings Institution launched a new in-depth study entitled Reaching Out: Cuba’s New Economy and The International Response. Using what is described as out-of-the-box thinking the study:

• Describes recent changes in the Cuban economy 
• Identifies current and potential relations between Cuba and International Financial Institutions 
• Makes recommendations about how the US and other market-oriented countries could and should help Cuba improve its situation

As part of the launch of Reaching Out, Brookings held a panel discussion that included:

• Ted Piccone - Moderator, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Foreign Policy, Brookings
• Richard Feinberg – Study Author, Nonresident Senior Fellow, Brookings
• Carlos Alzugaray Treto - A Cuban Viewpoint, Professor, University of Havana 
• Gary Hufbauer – An Alternative Viewpoint, Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics
