As part of an initiative to promote exports of local products, Economic Development Bank President Joey Cancel-Planas announced Wednesday the signing of a partnership with Scotiabank Puerto Rico to spur international transactions.
The Puerto Rico CPA Society and the Economic Development Bank have partnered to, among other things, identify financing sources and services to help promote local products and services companies with the goal of creating jobs and strengthening existing businesses, EDB President Joey Cancel-Planas said Thursday.
