Enlace Empresarial and the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a collaboration agreement Monday to work together to raise awareness of existing export opportunities among members of the business community in the United States and Puerto Rico, especially among small and mid-sized operations.
An analyst for underwriting firm HJ Sims told Bloomberg that maintaining Puerto Rico’s debt at a suitable level for investors will depend on whether the governor who wins the Nov. 6 elections is willing to leave the current fiscal progress intact.
Puerto Rico is the best place in Latin America and the Caribbean to start a business and gain access to credit and is outranked only by Chile in the overall ease of doing business, according to the “Doing Business 2013: Smarter Regulations for Small and Medium-Size Enterprises” report released Tuesday by the IFC and World Bank.
