During the preparation of the report, the Committee for the Study of Puerto Rico's Finances (Committee), its staff and consultants relied heavily on the staff of the Puerto Rico Government Development Bank and other government agencies for information, statistics, advice, comments and critiques. The Committee and its staff also benefited from consultation with Puerto Ricans outside the government, economists, businessmen, bankers and others. The Committee would concentrate its efforts on the broad financial and fiscal aspects of Puerto Rico's economic future.
