AUTHORIZED STATEMENTS BY DR. MARIO MARAZZI-SANTIAGO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS OF PUERTO RICO, ON THE JUDGMENT ISSUED YESTERDAY BY THE TRIAL COURT, SUPERIOR CHAMBER OF SAN JUAN, IN RELATION TO A LAWSUIT FILED BY THE INSTITUTE

Yesterday afternoon, the Court of First Instance, Superior Chamber of San Juan, issued its judgment and declared in effect the lawsuit filed by the Institute of Statistics. This opinion is another endorsement of the independence of the Institute of Statistics, which is so essential to its operation and its reason for being. After the strong statements of the Court and the President of the New York Federal Reserve this week, we hope to be able to close this chapter, so that at the Institute we can concentrate all our efforts and resources on fully complying with our duties and responsibilities. We reiterate our interest and willingness to meet with the Governor and make the Institute's services and resources available to him.
