The Puerto Rico Planning Board is working on an integrated plan to streamline and update the process of gathering, analyzing and releasing statistics, seeking to strengthen the numbers available for the island’s economic activities, agency President Luis García-Pelatti said Wednesday.
Integrating the Puerto Rico Film Commission into the Economic Development and Commerce Department will “help align Puerto Rico’s strategies to promote the film industry, while generating efficiencies to maintain the Film Fund,” said the latter agency’s Chief Alberto Bacó-Bagué Wednesday.
The Puerto Rico Planning Board released Tuesday its economic projections for Fiscal years 2014 and 2015, in which it is estimated a base growth in real Gross Domestic Product of $6.5 billion million this year, representing an increase of 0.1 percent compared to Fiscal 2013.
