Cuba's per capita gdp is so high, how can it be poor?

Although Cuba is a small country, it is famous in the world. Moreover, Cuba is also a socialist country. What is their current living standard? As for the living development level of a country's people, many people analyze it from an intuitive perspective. For example, some people can clearly feel their real living standards when they travel to Cuba or live there for a period of time. Intuitively, the life of the Cuban people is quite good. The Cuban people themselves have Caribbean customs, so life is naturally optimistic, positive, cheerful and passionate, so you can't tell whether they are doing well in the street. However, judging from the actual situation reflected by people who have traveled to Cuba or lived in Cuba, the overall living standard in Cuba is average. Although Cuba as a whole is rather shabby and does not have many modern facilities, the residents are still relatively happy. Of course, to measure the living standard of a country's residents, we can't simply judge from what we see, but I think we should measure it from some objective data. Measuring a country's living standard can be analyzed from many aspects. The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, and whether a country's residents live well is closely related to the country's economic development level. Judging from the level of economic development, Cuba's economy is not very developed. In 2020, Cuba's GDP will be about $654.38+007 billion. According to the population of 654.38+065.438+032 million, the per capita GDP is about 9450 US dollars, ranking 88th in the world. This GDP per capita is similar to that of Turkey, Mexico and Serbia, but higher than that of Brazil and Colombia. It's a bit surprising to see Cuba's per capita GDP, but it's nothing to make a fuss about after looking at Cuba's economic structure. Although Cuba's economy is not very developed at present, its sugar industry and tobacco industry are well-known, and its tourism industry is OK. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, many tourists were attracted to Cuba every year, which also created a lot of foreign exchange income for people.
