AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Water Crisis: Puerto Rico’s prolonged water supply emergency, triggered by a major Superaqueduct leak and followed by additional outages, has disrupted hundreds of thousands of residents and hit businesses hard—from restaurants and hotels to museums—despite tanker deliveries, storage efforts, and price freezes. Banking & Infrastructure Finance: Banco Popular led a $600M refinancing for Metropistas with FirstBank, Oriental Bank and Nave Bank, routed through the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust to fund education, conservation, reforestation, biodiversity monitoring and related community programs. Housing Finance: With repairs increasingly needed in the used market, FHA 203(k) rehabilitation loans are gaining traction in Puerto Rico, offering financing for both purchase and improvements amid limited inventory and rising used-home prices. Public Utilities Oversight: A federal audit says only $2.7B of $11B obligated for Puerto Rico power-grid recovery after Hurricane Maria had been disbursed as of February, renewing pressure on PROMESA-era progress. Local Business & Community: Puerto Rico business leaders highlighted federal alliances during a Washington mission, while a separate community note covered Avalon Rotary’s new board and awards.
