Durante el año 2025, las importaciones de chocolate y demás preparaciones alimenticias que contengan cacao (HTS 1806) en Puerto Rico mostraron una tendencia creciente durante la segunda mitad del año. A partir de julio, cuando se registraron $8.5 millones, el valor de las importaciones aumentó progresivamente, alcanzando $9.2 millones en agosto, $10.5 millones en septiembre y un máximo de $12.5 millones en octubre. Este comportamiento coincide con el periodo previo a las festividades de Halloween, cuando estos productos suelen tener una mayor presencia en el mercado.
Las estadísticas de comercio exterior permiten conocer el comportamiento de los bienes que ingresan a Puerto Rico, identificar tendencias y analizar sus países de origen. Estos datos ayudan a las empresas a planificar sus operaciones, anticipar cambios en el mercado e identificar oportunidades de negocio a partir del comportamiento de las importaciones.

The Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico issues a favorable opinion on the fiscal operations of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics
“The tests carried out and the evidence in our possession revealed that the operations of the Institute subject to this Report were carried out, in all significant respects, in accordance with applicable law and regulations.”
“The Report comments that since the Institute of Statistics was created in 2003, the Legislature has not allocated the budget for the special fund contrary to Law 209-2003 which establishes an allocation of $2,000,000 as an initial item to finance projects for methodological improvements or statistical products. As of May 28, 2021, the Institute had not received the allocation for the special fund.”
“This situation prevented the Institute from updating Puerto Rico's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) methodology. This measurement of GDP is necessary for the Federal Government to integrate the measurement of Puerto Rico's economy, as required by the Report by the President's Task Force on Puerto Rico's Status of March 11, 2011 under the presidency of Barack Obama.”

This supplement examines the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the PMI and the manufacturing sector in Puerto Rico. The report focuses on economic sub-indices and indicators, and presents the different factors that were affected in manufacturing companies by the health measures taken by the government from April 2020 to August 2021.
