As the new year rolls in, Puerto Rico’s main professional trade groups — the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce, the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association and the CPA Society — are weighing in on what they believe the island will need to improve its economic condition and quality of life for its citizens.
Now that the dust has settled on one of Puerto Rico’s most contentious political campaigns and elections, the island’s private sector is hopeful that government officials, especially Governor-elect Alejandro García-Padilla, will set aside partisan bickering to work together to re-energize and move the economy forward.
The Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association’s Tax Affairs and Buyers and Suppliers tems will host a workshop to explain to controlled foreign corporations doing business on the island how to reduce operational costs. The seminar also targets local “critical suppliers,” who will learn how to boost their sales.
