The Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico announced Wednesday that, as part of its efforts to increase transparency and improve investor relations, it has made additional disclosure materials available on its website.
Basing its assessment on Puerto Rico’s declining economy and population, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised Monday its outlook on Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corp.'s (known as COFINA) first- and second-lien bonds to negative from stable.
The government’s economic team, headed by Puerto Rico Treasury Secretary Melba Acosta and Government Development Bank Interim President José Pagán confirmed the introduction of a bill to expand the Sales Tax Fund Financing Corporation's (COFINA, by its Spanish acronym) capacity to issue bonds and facilitate the execution of a more cost-effective financing for the Commonwealth.
