Including, the mandate planted that search for the financial resources to finance the pensions in case the Junta insists on reports.
“If all manners include a record, then my compromise is that of the manner in which you can legally protect this sector you have to protect. If, like you, when it is legal, you can protect pensions … We will look at the remedies “We are looking for people who are looking for a place to stay in Puerto Rico.”
La JCF picked up a 8.5% recommendation, but it was $ 1,500 men and persons públicos. The fiscal entity is expected to present an adjustment plan to restructure the country’s debt that includes reduction in these benefits and government sector jobs.
“In other jurisdictions it has been adjusted and restructured public debt without the need to record pensions. And there is one case in which this is justified in Puerto Rico because the main system of public pensions in Puerto Rico was reformed radically in 2013. It is hoped that the junta will continue to have an impact on the public pension sector in Iceland and will not need to make a new impact on this sector “, added the governor.
