More than 15,000 small and medium-sized enterprises currently operate on the island and employ more than a third of the working population, according to official data.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Private companies now account for a major share of food and fuel distribution, while the government is increasingly turning to private and foreign investment to revive the wider economy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/real-estate\/news\/cuba-opens-real-estate-sector-to-foreigners-as-us-pressure-deepens-economic-crisis\/articleshow\/133758813.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move is part of a wider package of market-oriented reforms unveiled by Cuba\u2019s communist leadership.
