AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Retail Investment: Walmart has begun a $65 million Bayamón Supercenter project, expected to create more than 600 permanent jobs when it opens in 2028. Research & Innovation: The University of Puerto Rico opened a seven-lab scientific incubator and received another $4 million for technology commercialization, aiming to turn local research into businesses and jobs. Permitting Reform: A sweeping overhaul to consolidate Puerto Rico’s fragmented permitting rules is advancing in the Senate, with the goal of speeding approvals for businesses and developers. Economic Outlook: Activity rose for a third straight month in August, led by manufacturing and construction, but economists warn recession risks persist; manufacturers added about 1,100 jobs, while high energy costs remain a drag. Market Watch: Puerto Rico’s stock index climbed 1.41% last week and is up 22.02% this year.
