Puerto Rico forecasts 11 percent drop in economy in revised plan
Governor submits a five year fiscal plan projecting 11 percent GDP shrinkage and 8 percent population decline, with no funds set aside for creditors. The plan assumes 35 billion in federal post storm aid and 22 billion from private insurers, far from the 95 billion in hurricane damage. Analysts warn aid may be delayed. Portela expects funds to arrive. The plan favors labor and tax reforms and privatizing the electric utility to spur growth, while noting 11 percent unemployment and mass migration to the mainland.
