Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla’s administration confirmed Tuesday that Puerto Rico Government Development Bank President Javier Ferrer tendered his resignation effective July 19.
Puerto Rico’s current economic situation is deep-rooted in the government’s inability to understand the gravity of the problem and the outcome of doing the same things over and over again, while expecting different results.
Representatives from 26 professional organizations from a cross-section of Puerto Rico’s economy, as well as thousands of businesses and workers, on Monday asked Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla and his administration for “transparency” and inclusion in the decision-making process to find solutions to the island’s precarious fiscal situation.
