CNE – Centro Para Una Nueva Economía – Center for a New Economy
Non-profit, economic research and policy development organization
En la sección Otro punto de vista de la edición de marzo del CNE Review, y como parte de una colaboración especial con el prestigioso think tank español, Real Instituto Elcano, invitamos a Carlota García Encina, investigadora principal, quien explora los efectos en cadena en toda Europa de las políticas públicas de la nueva administración.
In this policy brief we examine the impact of the new administration’s policies on Puerto Rico and the U.S. economy.
If Puerto Rico truly wishes to straighten the course of its economy, it is imperative to design a modern industrial policy that puts us at the forefront of global economic activity.
The performance of Puerto Rico’s electric power system has been deficient for many years now. During the last seven years the government of Puerto Rico has undertaken massive efforts to transform the system. Yet during the summer of 2024, most of these efforts appear to have been derailed.
To better understand how Puerto Rican households are faring financially, a topic last comprehensively studied in the 2007–08 Puerto Rico Survey of Consumer Finances, the 2021 National Financial Capability Study surveyed 1,001 adults in Puerto Rico. The findings show that while debt levels are relatively low, many in Puerto Rico struggle to make ends meet.
We reviewed a summary of the main findings of the PR100 Study in a prior policy brief. This time around we want to focus on a handful of issues that we believe merit further public discussion and analysis in Puerto Rico.
In this edition of Reading the DC Tea Leaves we present a list of upcoming federal policy issues that CNE will pursue over the coming years.
Congress should not make U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico wait to receive a fair portion of their daily bread until the next Farm Bill deliberations in 2028. The time for Congress to discharge its legal and moral obligations to Puerto Rico is now.
