The Subcommittee on Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs of the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing on Jan. 26, to analyze Puerto Rico’s fiscal crisis.
Puerto Rico will be $923 million in the hole by summer if it meets all of its upcoming obligations, including debt service payments and payments to suppliers, as the fiscal crisis tightens its grip on the island’s finances.
The government of Puerto Rico is making budget adjustments amounting to some $254 million, which is about half of the shortfall in revenue collections the Treasury Department anticipated late last year.
