Existe una urgencia de reformar los programas de asistencia social para asegurar una red de seguridad adecuada para familias vulnerables, y proveer incentivos para alcanzar la autosuficiencia económica de éstas. ¿Cómo podemos mejorar estos servicios en Puerto Rico de manera cónsona con estos objetivos?
La médula del plan fiscal es un escenario base, que a su vez es función de unas proyecciones de crecimiento económico. Este escenario asume que no hay cambios en las leyes o políticas fiscales existentes. El objetivo es establecer un marco de referencia para estimar el impacto de diversas propuestas de política pública.
I am writing on behalf of the Center for a New Economy (“CNE”), a Puerto Rico, non-partisan, not-for-profit, independent think tank, to convey our analysis of the Fiscal Plan presented by the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on October 14, 2016 (the “Fiscal Plan”), pursuant to the formal Invitation to Comment issued by the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “FOB”), which you preside. We thank you and the FOB for this opportunity to present our analysis and comments on the Fiscal Plan.
We are writing in response to the request for “stakeholder input” issued by the Bipartisan Congressional Task Force on Economic Growth in Puerto Rico (the “Task Force”), which was established pursuant to Section 409 of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”).1
La sección 201 de la “Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act” requiere que el gobierno de Puerto Rico prepare y presente a la Junta de Control Fiscal un plan fiscal a cinco años (como mínimo), para el gobierno central y cualquiera otra agencia o instrumentalidad gubernamental cubierta por dicha ley.
