The Center for a New Economy unveiled Wednesday a joint report prepared with the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University in New York, which analyzes key components for a new industrial policy for Puerto Rico.
Center for a New Economy representatives on Thursday stressed the urgency for Congressional action, but cautioned that any bill approved in Washington must provide Puerto Rico with a debt restructuring mechanism “that will actually work.”
Looking to build a new “civic infrastructure” for Puerto Rico in the U.S. mainland, a Center for a New Economy will be opening offices in Washington, DC and New York to insert itself in the discussion of fiscal and other issues, the think tank’s President Mike Soto-Class said Thursday.
