Exposición potencial de las exportaciones de Puerto Rico a los aranceles de Canadá

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.

Economic Report to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly 2025

The Institute of Statistics collaborated on a chapter of the Economic Report to the Governor.

The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics collaborated on the development of a chapter for the Economic Report to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly 2025, prepared by the Planning Board. As part of this project, the study titled “Lag Index for Puerto Rico” was included in Chapter VII of the report, integrating statistical evidence on social, economic, and demographic aspects of Puerto Rico's municipalities.

The Lag Index is an analysis and planning tool developed by the Institute to support public discussion and evidence-based decision-making. The study evaluates dimensions related to economic and demographic issues, offering a comprehensive look at the socioeconomic situation of Puerto Rico's municipalities.

The Economic Report to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly is one of the main official publications on Puerto Rico's economic performance. With decades of publication, this annual report compiles and analyzes information related to economic activity, the labor market, public finances, population, foreign trade, and other topics relevant to the planning and evaluation of Puerto Rico's economy.

You can access the report via the following link: Economic Report to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly 2025.
