In what could represent the first positive for Puerto Rico in its litigation with creditors and insurance companies over debt repayment, two monoline insurers — National Public Finance Guarantee Corp. and Assured Guaranty withdrew their complaints against the Commonwealth’s Fiscal Plan.
The Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico an “Adversary Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief” seeking to enforce the certified Commonwealth’s Fiscal Plan.
The United States government will notify the Financial Oversight and Management Board by Oct. 6 if it will defend the constitutionality of PROMESA.
