Puerto Rico’s Financial Crisis: The Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) in Action

The following session took place during Caribbean Insolvency Symposium in February 2017. This panel will explore the oversight board created under PROMESA, including (1) a simplified overview of the law with a summary of each chapter, (2) the key players and their roles (e.g., PROMESA oversight board, executive director, revitalization coordinator, etc.), (3) highlights from the first 90 days of PROMESA, (4) a comparison/contrast of PROMESA with the DC and NYC financial crises, and (5) the major challenges faced by the oversight board to improve Puerto Rico’s financial condition (restructuring, economic development, fiscal reform). All sessions from this conference can be accessed at https://cle.abi.org/.
