Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, has an economy driven by manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and tourism. Market competition is improving, but high debt and fiscal challenges persist. Public policies focus on economic recovery, disaster resilience, and job creation, supported by U.S. federal aid. Regulatory frameworks align with U.S. standards, but bureaucratic inefficiencies remain barriers to growth. Puerto Rican society is diverse and entrepreneurial, with a focus on small businesses. Education is accessible but faces resource shortages. Healthcare systems are robust but strained by population aging and emigration. Climate risks, including hurricanes and rising sea levels, necessitate sustainable infrastructure investments. Puerto Rico’s recovery depends on effective fiscal management and structural reforms.
