AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Water Crisis Support: Puerto Rico Tourism Company earmarked $2 million for the “Mano Amiga” incentive plan, offering up to $10,000 to tourism businesses hit by scheduled water service interruptions. Small-Business Relief: The Department of Economic Development and Commerce raised its “Economic Recovery” incentive cap from $5,000 to $10,000 and expanded eligibility, cutting paperwork and boosting maximum payouts for qualifying firms affected since June 1. Bottled Water Demand: Supermarkets report bottled water sales jumping 80% to 90% in affected areas, with delivery delays as demand strains distribution. Cost of Living Pressure: Despite multiple minimum wage hikes, analysts say the current floor still doesn’t cover living costs, with housing alone consuming far more than recommended budgets. Labor Market Reality Check: A new commentary revisits how unemployment counts can miss people who stop looking for work—an issue that still shapes policy debates. Tourism Investment Watch: New research pegs Puerto Rico’s active hotel and branded residential pipeline at $3.57 billion, even as passenger traffic softens. Powerball Buzz: The jackpot climbed to $975 million after no Monday winner, with Puerto Rico among jurisdictions playing the game.
