October was the month of manufacturing, so the Institute developed a supplement to the Purchasing Manager's Index Report (PMI) for the month of September 2021, published in early November.

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.

San Juan, Puerto Rico. June 4, 2025. The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute (Institute) published a new interactive dashboard that presents key financial indicators for banking institutions operating in Puerto Rico and that are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This tool consolidates historical data from 2001 to the present, incorporating the most recent data available, corresponding to the first quarter of 2025.

The dashboard integrates a set of eighteen (18) financial indicators presented in the form of ratios, grouped into two main categories: performance indicators (Performance Ratios) and financial condition indicators (Condition Ratios). A financial ratio is a measure that relates two numerical variables, providing a standardized indicator that facilitates comparative analysis over time and between different entities. Currently, the dashboard includes information from six (6) banking institutions operating in Puerto Rico under FDIC regulation.

Among the Performance Ratios What is included in the dashboard are: Yield on Earning Assets, Cost of Funding Earning Assets, Net Interest Margin, Noninterest Income to Average Assets, Noninterest Expense to Average Assets, Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Loan and Lease Loss Provision to Net Charge-Offs, and Earning Coverage of Net Loan Charge-Offs.

As for the Condition Ratios, the dashboard presents: Earning Assets to Total Assets, Loss Allowance to Noncurrent Loans and Leases, Noncurrent Loans to Loans, Net Loans and Leases to Deposits, Net Loans and Leases to Core Deposits, Leverage (Core Capital) Ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.

As part of the analytical value provided by this tool, the Institute has developed the calculation of the industry average for each of the indicators included in the dashboard. This average provides an essential statistical reference framework for understanding the aggregate behavior of the sector and allows us to evaluate each institution in relation to the market in which it operates. This facilitates comparative analysis and monitoring of trends in the Puerto Rican banking industry.

“One of the fundamental contributions of this dashboard is to consolidate an extensive and continuous historical series, which allows us to identify structural trends and cycles in the banking industry. This long-term perspective is essential to understand the evolution of Puerto Rico's financial environment and to support more robust economic analyses,” said Dr. Ronald G. Hernández Maldonado, Manager of Statistical Projects at the Institute.

The dashboard is available in the Special Projects section of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics portal, under the name of “Financial Indicators-Banks” or through the following direct link: VVisualizing Financial Indicators - Banks.

The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute is an autonomous governmental entity responsible for coordinating the Government's statistical production service to ensure that the data collection and statistics systems, on which public policies are based, are complete, reliable, and have quick and universal access.
