Puerto Rico’s financial system — which comprises local and international commercial banks, cooperatives, mortgage and investment companies, and public banks, among others — reported $147.6 billion in assets during the third quarter of 2013, down about 2 percent from the $151.2 billion on record for the same period in 2012.
The Corporation for the Supervision and Insurance of Puerto Rico Cooperatives, known as COSSEC in Spanish, wrapped up Fiscal 2013 with $229.2 million in assets, a 5.86 percent year-over-year increase, President Daniel Rodríguez-Collazo said during the entity’s annual convention this weekend.
Puerto Rico’s financial sector, one of the island’s key economic components, seems to be rebounding for the first time in four years, reporting $171 billion in combined assets during the second quarter of 2011.
