Island public finances collapse

On June 29, 2015, El Nuevo Día (Joanisabel González) reported the collapse of Puerto Rico’s public finances based on the report by economist Anne O. Krueger (former IMF).

According to the accessible dek, the report shows a real deficit of $3,695 million. Story tags: fiscal crisis, Krueger Report, Anne O. Krueger, IMF.

This desk does not invent the official-vs-real breakdown or the report’s recommendations: the rest of the body sits behind a paywall. The primary PDF Puerto Rico – A Way Forward stays with Periodista #2 — this note is same-day island-press coverage.

An estimated deficit is not theft. A report is not a judgment or a completed restructuring.
