The Government Development Bank will be hosting a “Puerto Rico Investor Day” event in New York next week, to give backers a one-on-one opportunity to meet with senior members of the island’s fiscal team.
Government Development Bank President Javier Ferrer said the García-Padilla administration is “analyzing all types of measures” to address Puerto Rico’s critical fiscal problems fronted by the drained public retirement systems that are being closely watched by stateside credit agencies.
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Puerto Rico’s general obligation rating Thursday to Baa3 from Baa1, affecting about $38 billion of the island’s debt held by more than a handful of agencies.
