Puerto Rico’s retail sale saw a $20.1 million increase in October, when activity exceeded $3.22 billion, Puerto Rico Trade and Export, the government agency that tracks this economic sector, said Wednesday.
Puerto Rico new car sales totaled 88,175 units in 2014, down 12.3 percent versus 2013, and representing the lowest level of sales since 2009, members of the United Automobile Importers Group said Wednesday.
Despite a seemingly unstoppable downward spiral of auto sales in Puerto Rico, which dropped by 17.2 percent last month when compared to November 2013, the United Automobile Importers Group remains optimistic that there will be an improvement when the year wraps up in about two weeks.
