Free Market
No independent and legally recognized private sector exists in Cuba under the present regime, because any enterprise there operates at the pleasure of the state: It's dependent on those in power, not rule of law. These are not free markets, bur rent seekers with close ties to the regime.

CubaBrief: Cuban dictatorship's economic reforms seek more control over economy and less cash in the black market. Cubans told not enough fish in waters surrounding Cuba, but tourists told different.
The micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MIPYMEs) do not represent free enterprise in Cuba. Without the rule of law, investors and entrepreneurs are subject to the arbitrary diktats of regime officials who remain antagonistic to free markets and regard Cubans who become successful through their own private ventures with suspicion. Analysts in Spain described reforms around MIPYMEs in Cuba as "one step forward, two steps back."
