Cuba: Average State Salary Falls from US $18 to $16 a Month

September 2, 2025

HAVANA TIMES – On August 30, the official press celebrated a “significant increase” in the average state salary in Cuba during the first half of 2025. According to data published by the National Office of Statistics and Information (Onei), the average monthly salary reached 6,649 pesos, representing an increase of 16.4% compared to the same period in 2024, when it was 5,714 pesos. But behind that optimistic headline, the numbers tell another story: due to inflation and the depreciation of the national currency against the dollar, Cubans’ purchasing power remains stagnant and has even declined.

I'm sure the average Cuban worker would understand that their real wages (adjusted for inflation) is not keeping up with rising prices. There's so little motivation to find satisfaction in your work in circumstances like these.

What a bizzaro timeline we are in currently. We will see the world's first trillionaire before we see living wages for the masses. Wtf.
