Resumo (EN)

For Cuba to achieve the prosperous and sustainable economic development to which it aspires, the country needs to update its productive structure at macro and meso economic scales, adapting it to the current dynamics and requirements of international economic development. The present study aims to assess the development of the productive structure of the Santiago de Cuba province, measuring the relative importance and complementarity of its sectors and economic activities. Using econometric models, through the method of ordinary least squares (OLS), productive reserves were estimated and capital budgets were calculated for those activities with better opportunities of undertaking investment projects, in order to contribute to the decision making in the economic and social development strategy of the province and country until 2030.
