41. Economy puerto rico s government aims to make up for the 936 loss by providing new localincentives, cutting taxes and encouraging economic development in other http://welcome.topuertorico.org/economy.shtml

Puerto Rico has one of the most dynamic economies in the Caribbean region. Plantation sugar production dominated Puerto Rico's economy until the 1940s. Industry has surpassed agriculture as the primary sector of economic activity and income. Encouraged by duty free access to the U.S. and by tax incentives, U.S. firms have invested heavily in Puerto Rico since the 1950s (U.S. minimum wage laws apply). As a result, Puerto Rico's export and import has prospered, nearly doubled between fiscal years 1987 and 1997. Recently the economy has suffered budget cuts from U.S. The Puerto Rican economy has depended heavily on the tax incentives given to U.S. mainland companies and on federal transfers. In 1993, President Clinton aimed to cut the Section 936 On the other hand, the agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) also has implications for Puerto Rico because of competition for jobs and investment. Although wage levels are lower in Mexico, Section 30A gives companies in Puerto Rico an advantage in pharmaceuticals and hi-tech industries. In low-skill labor-intensive manufacturing, such as clothing and footwear, Mexico has the advantage. Puerto Rico currently employs 30,000 in the clothing industry. By some economists Puerto Rico's economy is considered somewhat fictitious. Puerto Rico has very few natural resources of economic value and its economy relies mainly on Federal Aid from the United States Government, which depends on the industrialization programs and the tax incentives that U.S. offers. Economists believe that reinstating IRS Section 936 or making IRS Section 30A permanent for U.S. firms operating in Puerto Rico is not the best way to stimulate sustainable development on the island.

Home Country Analysis Briefs Puerto Rico Fact Sheet PDF version PDB version August 2003 Background Oil Natural Gas Coal ... Links Puerto Rico Fact Sheet The U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is the largest net energy importer in the Caribbean basin. Over the last few years, the government has supported significant new energy projects in order to diversify the country's energy mix. Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of August 2003 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND Port of the Americas , Puerto Rican government is expecting a boost in the economy and employment. Although Puerto Rico's economy contracted by 0.2% in 2002, it is expected to recover in 2003, with a real domestic product growth of 1.9%. Whether Puerto Rico's economy expands relies heavily on the performance of the mainland United States' economy. The United States is Puerto Rico's largest trading partner. Recent high oil prices also have had an adverse affect on the country's economy and inflation, as Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports to meet its domestic energy needs, particularly electricity generation. Historically, Puerto Rico's economy has been one of the strongest in the Caribbean basin. Beginning in the 1950s, American firms invested heavily in Puerto Rico's industrial sector, taking advantage of significant tax incentives as well as duty-free access to U.S. markets. As a result, Puerto Rico enjoys a highly diversified economy and good trade relations with the United States. In 1996, however, the U.S. Congress repealed the tax incentives that American firms once enjoyed. Since then, Puerto Rico has lost some manufacturing jobs and its economy has suffered.
