Puerto Rico May Need $2.5 Billion Debt Cut Annually
Puerto Rico will need about $2.5 billion of debt relief each year in the medium term after calculating potential spending cuts, according to a Height Securities analyst. After taking into account savings from potential reductions in education, health care and wage cuts and freezes, the commonwealth may still face a $2.5 billion gap per year in the medium term, Daniel Hanson, an analyst at Height Securities, a Washington-based broker dealer, wrote in a report Thursday.
