A decision by the Puerto Rico government to make the $354.7 million payment on Government Development Bank Senior Notes due today will come down to the wire and will depend on the outcome on talks with creditors, Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla said.
Puerto Rico’s economic activity increased by 1.0 percent on a year-over-year basis in October, and reflected a month-over-month increase of 0.2 percent, according to the Government Development Bank’s Economic Activity Index released Monday.
The government of Puerto Rico is facing a busy week with the development of three key events on- and off-island, headed by a decision to make a $354 million bond payment by the Dec. 1 deadline.
