The government of Cuba introduced 176 structural economic reforms, which were proposed by Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz on June 1, 2026. The National Assembly of People's Power approved these measures on July 10, 2026. On July 28, 2026, the government published Decree 160 in the Official Gazette to overhaul private sector regulations. This decree replaces the previous uniform list of banned activities with a system based on the type of economic actor.

The reforms represent the most substantial reorganization of the private sector since the legalization of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in 2021. Decree 160 lifts prohibitions on 46 activities and modifies 35 others, introducing four distinct categories of restrictions for non-state actors.
