Havana serves as the capital and the largest city of Cuba. Located in the heart of La Habana Province, it functions as the primary port and commercial hub of the country. It holds the distinction of being the most populous city, the largest in terms of area, and the second largest metropolitan area within the Caribbean region. As of 2002, the population was recorded at 2,137,847 residents, with an area of 728.26 km2 (281.18 sq mi) for the city itself and 8,475.57 km2 for the metropolitan area. Founded by the Spanish in the 16th century, Havana played a crucial role as a launch point for the Spanish conquest of the Americas, serving as a key stop for Spanish galleons on their return to Spain. In 1607, Philip II of Spain conferred upon Havana the title of capital, leading to the construction of walls and forts for the city's protection.
A bond is a document of title for a loan. Bonds are issued, not only by businesses, but also by national, state or city governments, or other public bodies, or sometimes by individuals. Bonds are a loan to the company or other body. They are normally repayable within a stated period of time. Bonds earn interest at a fixed rate, which must usually be paid by the undertaking regardless of its financial results. A bondholder is a creditor of the undertaking.
