Puerto Rico has been, since the early nineties, attracting investments for its growing international financial services sector. Operating licenses to International Banking Entities (IBEs) where first given in 1989 and by 2011, 31 IBEs – with total assets of $44 billion where operating. In 2012, the Government of Puerto Rico instituted a number of development programs, like the IFE Act of 2012 that created the International Financial Entities (IFEs) replacing the IBE Act, in order to increase investment in the international financial sector. By 2016, there were 61 total EBIs and EFIs and the rapid rate of growth has created a complex situation that must be addressed by government, regulators, banking experts, legal advisers, consultants, the Federal Reserve and the industry; the financial entities in operation, the ones struggling to begin as well as the ones in the process of applying.
The Financial Sector is evolving globally and Puerto Rico must discuss its future as a sound and solid International Financial Services Center. This might not be one of the top 5 issues that the island is facing in 2018 after Maria, but is an issue that needs addressing. And we are doing just that. Join the discussion
