Cuba: small and medium sized businesses in Havana

A vendor outside her shop with suvenirs and memorabilia for sale, awaiting costumers, in Havana's city center. Since the 24th May, the Cuban Government legalized small and medium-sized private businesses in a move that could significantly expand private enterprise in one of the world's last communist countries. Those reforms have allowed about half a million Cubans to start work in the private sector. However, the process has been very slow and marked by periodic reversals. On Sunday, 26 November 2016, in Havana, Cuba. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
