Marino Murillo removed from post as Cuba's economy minister
The Cuban economy minister has been removed from his post following President Raul Castro's warning last week that people would have to tighten their belts amid the continuing economic crisis in Venezuela.
The government says Marino Murillo will now have responsibility for spearheading market reforms.
Cuba's economy is closely tied to that of its socialist ally, Venezuela.
But Venezuela has been hit by oil prices remaining comparatively low.
