One desk. Real name. The Cuban transition, measured.

The Havana Economic Review exists to answer one question with evidence instead of nostalgia or ideology: what happens to the Cuban economy when it finally opens — and what is moving right now, before it does?

The editor

Camilo Jaime is the founder and editor. Miami-born and raised Cuban-American — the son of parents who left the island young — he is an operator, not a career journalist: he runs a U.S. auto-transport logistics business and builds his companies on AI tooling. He is also the founder of Cuba Strategic Partners, which holds a portfolio of 1,400+ Cuba-related digital assets positioned for the island's eventual reopening.

That biography is the whole pitch: someone with logistics operating experience, a personal stake in Cuba's future, and a measurement instrument nobody else has — writing under his own name, accountable for every claim.

The instrument

Behind this publication runs a proprietary measurement system: continuous tracking of real search demand across the sectors of the Cuban economy, paired with daily scoring of Cuba-related news flow. When interest in a Cuban sector moves, it shows up in our data before it shows up in anyone's coverage. Signal Reports published here are generated from that archive — the dataset is ours, collected since early 2026, and its methods are our competitive property.

How it's made

This is a one-editor publication produced with AI research and drafting tools — stated plainly, because the standard that matters is not who typed the first draft but what survives verification. Every published claim is human-reviewed; every figure is sourced or labeled an estimate; nothing publishes without the editor's sign-off. The full standard is on the methodology page.

Disclosure

The Havana Economic Review is a Cuba Strategic Partners publication. CSP holds Cuba-related digital assets, and coverage here may discuss sectors in which CSP holds such assets — that interest is disclosed, permanently, right here. HER is privately held and is not affiliated with any government entity. Nothing published here is investment advice, and no activity is conducted outside applicable U.S. law, including OFAC regulations.

The posture

We are not neutral about Cuba's future: this desk believes an open, market-driven, lawful Cuba is both possible and worth preparing for. We are neutral about facts — they get published whether or not they flatter that thesis. Conviction in the argument, discipline in the evidence.
