The public and private sectors released sharply contrasting economic productivity reports Thursday that on the one hand claimed an increase in public revenue collections, while on the other denoted a significant contraction in manufacturing sector activity.
The Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association reiterated Wednesday its desire to collaborate with the government and the rest of the private sector to develop and promote measures that stimulate job creation, contribute to Puerto Rico’s economic development and increase worker productivity.
If the government truly wants to help the economy move forward, aside from monitoring that all of the recently enacted reforms effectively serve their purpose, it will have to implement what private sector representatives on Thursday called a “credibility reform.”
