Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla met with a group of unidentified advisors to the Commonwealth’s creditors to communicate, first hand, the need for Puerto Rico reach a broad restructuring of its $70 billion public debt to sustainable levels, his office said Tuesday.
A little more than a week after filing a motion for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) against the Government Development Bank, a group of creditors owning Puerto Rico bonds confirmed Wednesday they have withdrawn their request.
