FOREWORD
This handbook revises and updates ER H 68-3, The Cuban Economy: A
Statistical Review, 1955-67, October 1968. The principal changes are: (a)
revision of provisional data for 1965-67 and addition of data for 1968; (b) re-
vision of the national accounts statistics back to 1961, mainly to reflect new
information on private consumption based on analysis of a large sample of
family budgets reported by refugees; (c) conversion of the data on raw sugar
production, consumption, and stocks to a 96? polarization basis to achieve com-
parability with world sugar statistics published by the International Sugar Coun-
cil; (d) revision of the statistics on drawings against Soviet balance-of-payments
credits to include estimated interest charges on the debt outstanding; and (e)
revision of population data based on new U.S. Bureau of Census estimates.
The statistics on the government budget and the civilian labor force have not
been updated, because no new information is available.
The handbook is intended to provide a wide range of statistics of general
interest on the Cuban economy in a convenient format. Statistics for 1959 and
1960-the two years immediately following the revolution in January 1959-
are excluded because of the scarcity and unreliability of information. For simi-
lar reasons, the statistics for 1961 are the least reliable of the series shown and
should be used with caution.
The statistics were obtained from a wide variety of sources. They have
been checked carefully for internal consistency and, on the whole, are judged
to be reasonably reliable. Most reliable are the statistics on foreign trade, for
which cross checks with the statistics of Cuba's trading partners were made.
The data on the production of most sectors of the economy also are fairly
reliable, those on the production and disposition of sugar being the most ac-
curate. The data on the output of manufactured products also are numerically
accurate, but their significance is impaired somewhat by a decline in the quality
of many manufactured goods since the revolution. The data on the production
of food crops in the years since the revolution refer only to state collections.
In the aggregative measure of agricultural output, however, data on state col-
lections were supplemented by estimates of consumption by farm households and
of private sales. These estimates are based on information on food consumption
for a sample of farm families and on the volume of black market food sales.
Statistics on drawings of credits extended by Communist countries were
derived from the commodity trade deficits, taking account of estimated Cuban
expenditures for invisibles such as the wages of technicians supplied by Commu-
nist countries, interest payments, and movements of short-term capital. The
allocation of drawings between development aid and balance-of-payments credits,
however, is only a rough approximation.
Estimates of gross national product (CNP) by sector of origin and by ex-
penditure category in current prices w.., derived from a variety of sources,
including estimates of the UN Economic Commission for Latin America that were
based on data supplied by the Cuban government. A first approximation of

GNP in constant (1957) prices was obtained by constructing volume indexes
for each sector of origin. These estimates of GNP were then adjusted downward
on the basis of independent estimates of GNP for 1965-66 by expenditure cate-
gory in 1957 prices. The adjustments were applied to the estimates for industry
and agriculture (both excluding sugar) and for services-which are most sub-
ject to upward bias.
In this handbook the term Eastern Europe is used to refer to Albania,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugo-
slavia.
Although the overall classification of this handbook is SECRET/NO
FOREIGN DISSEM, some of the tables are unclassified. Therefore, each of
the tables carries a footnote which specifies the classification.

? All data in this table are unclassified. Data for Imports are those reported by the importing countries. In most cases, these.
figures differ little from the export data reported by Cuba which are shown in Table 29. Data for re-exports were estimated as
follows: for those countries having not exports of sugar, all sugar imports from Cuba were regarded as re-exported; for those coun-
tries having net imports of sugar, all sugar exports were regarded as re-exports and the share of Cuban sugar in these re-exports
was estimated as that proportion of the countries' total sugar Imports obtained from Cuba. Data for imports are rounded to the
nearest five thousand metric tons and data for re-exports are rounded to the nearest ten thousand metric tons.

All data in this table are unclassified. The credits shown in this table exclude those for the purpose of refinancing earlier credits.
In recent years substantial amounts have been extended for refinancing purposes, usually as part of general balance-of-payments
assistance.
b The official exchange rate is one peso per US dollar.
c In the case of the USSR, balance-of-payments credits are shown as extended during the period in which the trade deficit to be
financed was accumulated and since 1963 include estimated interest accrued on outstanding debt. In some cases formalization of
the credit did not take place until the year following that in which the deficit occurred.

Communist countries as reported by Cuba rand the value of these exports computed at the average price received for Cuban
sugar from Free World countries (see Table 31).
