The Puerto Puerto government is planning at least three trips to the market before year’s end, looking to complete a number of bond issues to pay off debt and other public projects, members of Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla’s economic team confirmed Thursday.
Moody's Investors Service announced Wednesday it has assigned provisional ‘Baa3’ ratings to Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC's $350 million of senior secured bonds. The outlook is stable. Bond proceeds will be used to partially fund the acquisition of a long-term lease to operate the Luis Muñoz Marin Airport.
Governor-elect Alejandro García-Padilla said the recent downgrade by Moody’s Investors Service of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s General Obligation bonds “further signal the need for fiscal discipline at the central government and in our public corporations.”
