Textiles and clothing, processed meat, beer, shoes, and ceramics are the major industrial products of Asmara. Havana's economy first developed on the basis of its location, which made it one of the early great trade centres in the New World. Sugar and a flourishing slave trade first brought riches to the city, and later, after independence, it became a renowned resort. Despite efforts by Fidel Castro's government to spread Cuba's industrial activity to all parts of the island, Havana remains the centre of much of the nation's industry.
The overall cost of living rank in Asmara is 252 out of 300 global locations, which equates it with low cost of living locations. An expatriate moving from Havana to Asmara will experience a change in cost of living of -14.6%.
