Abstract

The report draws on a variety of international data sources and uses international benchmarking against reference group medians, comparator countries, and statistical norms to identify major constraints, trends, and opportunities for strengthening growth and reducing poverty. This study uses two other large, upper-middle income countries in the same region (UMI-LAC), Costa Rica and Dominican Republic, as comparators. In addition, Cuba"s performance is compared to median values of all upper-middle-income (UMI) countries globally. (Author abstract, modified)
