The Central Bank of Cuba (BCC) warned on Twitter that the information circulating on social networks and digital platforms about an alleged decision to sell each Cuban citizen an amount of US dollars and MLC, as part of the national monetary system, is false.

The Cuban News Agency (ACN) explains that the false news simulates a publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic, dated May 27. It highlights that on the website of the regulations, it can be verified that none of the editions of this month addresses this issue.

The BCC posted on its social network, don't be fooled, and called on the population to follow its official channels.

According to the Granma newspaper, this is the second time in the year that there is an attempt to manipulate the issue, taking advantage of the impact of economic inflation derived from the lack of offers in the internal market, associated with the COVID-19 crisis and the opportunistic resurgence of the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against Cuba.

The ACN also reports that during the last session of the National Assembly of People's Power, Alejandro Gil Fernández, deputy prime minister and head of Economy and Planning, commented on the decision to implement, gradually and selectively, an exchange scheme for the sale of MLC, at an exchange rate higher than 1 x 24, to state and non-state national suppliers, agreeing with them production levels and prices, for their commercialization in Cuban pesos.
