Florida, July 3 – By the end of June, only 32 percent of retirees who receive their pensions through the Banco Popular de Ahorro branch in the municipality of Florida had accessed this service, affected by the lack of cash at the financial institution.
This was reported by directors of that bank branch at the most recent session of the Municipal Assembly of People’s Power, where, along with their colleagues from the Banco de Crédito y Comercio, they demonstrated once again the lack of compliance here with the provisions of Resolution 111 of the Central Bank of Cuba, regarding cash deposits by local economic actors.
Although this problem is recurring throughout the country, it is up to the territory to face its challenges and guarantee bank revenues, and for this, it requires serious and systematic work by the Economic Commission of the Council of Administration, together with government factors and the other responsible or affected social actors.
During the same session of the Municipal Assembly of People’s Power, Yudier Peña Vargas, who until that date served as acting mayor of Florida, told the delegates that more than fifty self-employed workers here face processes of temporary or permanent suspension of licenses for failing to comply with the obligation of bank deposit and limiting the use of digital payment gateways.
