Cuba Central Bank Issues New Rules for Local Development Project Funding
What happened
The Central Bank of Cuba implemented Resolution 118/2026, which regulates the funding and bank account management for Local Development Projects (PDL). The rules clarify who can hold these accounts, how they operate, and what resource sources are allowed for funding. Banks are now required to open current accounts in Cuban pesos (CUP) for these projects, requiring approval from a Municipal Administration Council or provincial governor resolution.
