Business environment in Cuba

Canada has an established and stable trade relationship with Cuba. Historically, the Cuban market has been dominated by State Owned companies. However, in 2021 the government passed several laws to open up the economy to small- and medium-sized, privately owned enterprises. Canadian companies and investors in Cuba are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Canada’s Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (FEMA), which protects Canadian businesses from extraterritorial application of foreign laws.
