This Special Report of the Legislative Assembly Budget Office (OPAL) analyzes General Fund Income and Expenditure from Fiscal Year 2000 to 2022. This analysis is carried out using the Government's financial statements, identifying significant trends and events that have impacted the country's fiscal situation for just over the first 2 decades of the 21st century. The deficit of the General Fund, the legislative changes that have impacted collections and the evolution of spending in key programmatic areas such as Education, Public Safety and Health are some of the main points discussed in this report. During the first fifteen years of the century (2000 to 2014), Net Income from the General Fund totaled $118,788 million, while Expenses reached $144,573 million, resulting in a cumulative deficit of $25,785 million. This deficit was financed through loans, COFINA and transfers from other funds. Starting with Fiscal Year 2015, significant measures were implemented to control spending, most notably Law 66-2014, which froze budget allocation formulas to the University of Puerto Rico, municipalities and the Judicial Branch, among other initiatives to reduce government spending. The arrival of the PROMESA Act in 2016 marked a significant change in the administration of fiscal policy, and began the process of restructuring public debt. In the most recent fiscal years, the impact of events such as hurricanes Irma and Maria in September 2017; the earthquake in the southwest of the island in January 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, also in 2020, has significantly influenced Government Revenue and Expenditure. The injection of federal funds for reconstruction has been a determining factor in the fiscal evolution of these years. In summary, the report provides a detailed overview of the finances of the Government of Puerto Rico, highlighting the challenges faced and the measures taken to mitigate the deficit and improve Puerto Rico's fiscal situation.

The 2020-2021 academic year was one of continuous challenges where the University of Puerto Rico continued to provide its academic offer and support services, mostly assisted by technology, due to the emergency caused by COVID-19 both in Puerto Rico and worldwide. This modality of offering face-to-face services, often remotely, caused changes in the way in which the University of Puerto Rico usually carries out its academic semesters, its administrative processes and student services. Recognizing the importance of evaluation to strengthen offerings and services, the Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs and Research (VPAAI) conducted a study on students' perception of the services they received during the 2020-2021 academic year.

Incentives are one of the cornerstones of modern economic policymaking. In response to the ongoing global reformulations of these policies, this report provides a framework for a renewed, evidence-based incentive policy for Puerto Rico. To understand the Island's performance in terms of its economic incentives, it is necessary to focus on a systematic evaluation of the current diverse set of incentive programs under Act No. 60-2019, as amended, known as the “Puerto Rico Incentive Code” (Law 60). In addition, previous incentive laws should be considered to develop a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness and recommend a path forward. To carry out this evaluation, a robust data infrastructure for the beneficiaries of the programs was designed and developed. This, in turn, allowed the Department of Economic Development and Trade (DDEC) to support the ongoing management of economic incentives. Using evidence-based methodologies (with limited estimates), key programmatic policies are recommended to improve the measurement and execution of such incentives. This work can be explained in three main actions: 1. Gather all the necessary data to estimate the Return on Investment (ROI) analysis, while updating the ROI.2 formula. Develop case studies and illustrate results, projections and comparative references.3. Make data and/or policy recommendations to improve the impact of current incentive programs. Puerto Rico's incentive policies have a complex history. Several sectors and activities have been encouraged since the 1950s. Most of the tax decrees currently in force were granted in the last 25 years through various laws enacted since 1997, as shown in Figure 1. Despite this, beneficiaries have made the transition to the most recent versions of each applicable incentive, in accordance with Law 60. In addition, these “inherited decrees” could transition to more up-to-date incentives, such as those of Law 60, over the next decade. To measure the full impact of Act 60, a detailed evaluation of previous incentive programs is required. Since decrees under previous laws constitute the majority of active decrees, the impact of Act 60 remains relatively small due to the limited number of active beneficiaries. Therefore, to evaluate the real performance of economic incentives on the Island, the entire spectrum of active decrees and their respective legislation must be considered.
