Puerto Rico’s government agencies, certain corporations and other entities are dragging a combined $39 billion net asset deficit, which represents an increase of approximately $5.3 billion when compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Puerto Rico Treasury Secretary Melba Acosta said Thursday the government collected $495 million in General Fund revenue in July, the first month of the current fiscal year.
The Treasury Department has closed the gap between Puerto Rico’s actual General Fund income and the income estimated by the previous administration by 75 percent, agency chief and government CFO, Melba Acosta-Febo said Monday.
