What Cuba's economic profile is telling you
Cuba's latest World Bank profile shows a contraction in real output in 2025, with nominal GDP of about $107 billion. A current CPI observation is not published in the same World Bank country profile, so inflation is left unavailable rather than replaced with a different definition.
Comparable current merchandise totals were not independently resolved from the preferred WTO source during this pass, so no goods balance is calculated.
Reading the macro data
GDP measures current-dollar economic size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment measure different economic conditions and should not be treated as interchangeable signals.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover goods. They are kept separate from services and current-account measures.
