The Puerto Rico Private Sector Coalition, which represents more than 30 local professional organizations, on Monday argued that given the island’s circumstances post-Hurricane María and the potential impact of government measures, it is “critical” to have a body that ensures the independence and transparency of metrics and statistics to provide complete, reliable, and fast statistics.
Reactions from the public and private sector poured in Thursday on the Revised Fiscal Plans for the government of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority presented to the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico for certification.
Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics Executive Director Mario Marazzi questioned the government’s plans to consolidate that public agency with the sole purpose of outsourcing its services down the road.
