El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico presenta un análisis sobre la exposición potencial de las exportaciones de Puerto Rico a las nuevas medidas arancelarias de Canadá, vigentes desde el 8 de septiembre de 2026. El estudio compara, a nivel de seis dígitos del Sistema Armonizado (SA-6), los productos sujetos a estas medidas con las exportaciones de Puerto Rico hacia Canadá registradas para los años 2023, 2024, 2025 y de enero a julio de 2026.
Los resultados muestran una exposición variable y concentrada en un grupo reducido de productos. El mayor valor se observó en 2024, cuando nueve categorías identificadas totalizaron aproximadamente $4.78 millones, frente a $861 mil en 2025 y $104 mil entre enero y julio de 2026. Este análisis ofrece una primera aproximación a la exposición de las exportaciones de Puerto Rico y establece una base para dar seguimiento a su comportamiento una vez estén disponibles datos posteriores a la entrada en vigor de los nuevos aranceles.

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer, are among the leading causes of illness, which is why adopting healthy habits and getting preventive screenings can make a difference.
Let’s continue to promote education and awareness to help improve the quality of life for those living with chronic diseases.
Institute Presents Social and Health Profile of Schoolchildren
Dr. Orville M. Disdier, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, was a keynote speaker at the First Puerto Rican Summit on School Health Promotion. During his presentation, he provided an update on the social and health profile of schoolchildren in Puerto Rico, highlighting the impact of social determinants on inequalities.
Dr. Disdier explained that Puerto Rico is facing a school enrollment crisis linked to demographic changes, as well as significant socioeconomic vulnerability, evidenced by more than 50% of minors living below the poverty level. However, he emphasized that despite high income inequality and various health challenges, education remains the primary driver of social mobility and an essential path to economic advancement.
