AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoWater Crisis & Governance: Puerto Rico’s historic drought has pushed San Juan and other cities into rotating 48-hour water shutoffs for about 180,000 households, with businesses and hotels losing an estimated $20 million a day—an outcome critics call “man-made” due to aging infrastructure and mismanagement. Rainwater Missed Opportunity: A ready fix is being underused: Puerto Rico’s rooftops could capture rainfall, but catchment systems aren’t required, leaving the island exposed as drought risk rises. Policy Pressure: Lawmakers are urging federal action, including a push for a disaster declaration, while local groups warn the rationing could worsen without faster, smarter mitigation. Business & Credit Snapshot: Despite financial strain, Puerto Rico consumers’ credit profile stayed strong, with TransUnion reporting an average score of 712 in the first half of 2026 and lower delinquency rates in key loan categories. Local Economy & Tourism: DISTRITO T-Mobile and Coca-Cola Music Hall marked its fifth anniversary with a three-day lineup and reported 12+ million visitors since opening, aiming to top 15 million by year-end. Food Safety: Carolina Catering Corp. (Sky Caterers) earned Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, positioning the company as a standout in Puerto Rico’s food service compliance landscape.
