At the Financial Oversight and Management Board, we know about difficulties in starting and running a business in Puerto Rico. However, we would like to learn more about your particular concerns and needs.

That is why we would like to hear from you, the leaders in Puerto Rico's main trade associations. We urge you to inform all your organization's members about the Ease of Doing Business survey that the Oversight Board recently launched, available here. You have until November 12 to complete it. The survey is confidential, takes no more than 15 minutes to complete, and can be completed in English or Spanish. The results will be aggregated and made public. 

It is crucial for us to receive feedback from all economic sectors and businesses of all sizes. The information gathered through this survey is an invaluable resource that will help improve the local business environment for everyone. 

If you already completed the survey: thank you! If you have not yet completed it or have not sent it to your organization's members: time is running out for you to contribute to the successful transformation of Puerto Rico's business sector. We know we can count on you.


 

Local non-profits join Amazon Smile


It is well said that in union, there is strength. Proof of this is the achievement that the Food Bank of Puerto Rico, United Way and Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR) have obtained in their efforts to maximize the aid resources available to address the needs of vulnerable populations in Puerto Rico.

Recently, the Food Bank led this joint effort, with the purpose of including non-profit organizations in U.S. territories, among the entities eligible to participate in the funds available through the Amazon Smile program. Today, this is a reality, and the more than 4,000 nonprofit organizations that work every day to forge a better Puerto Rico will be able to participate for the first time in this program that allows them to raise funds for their operations and initiatives. The formal petition to extend the reach of the Amazon Smile Foundation was presented in a statement signed jointly by the three entities and endorsed by the Office of the Resident Commissioner, Hon. Jenniffer González. 



 
 


 















FDA Offers Guidance to Enhance Diversity in Clinical Trials, Encourage Inclusivity in Medical Product Development

Throughout my career as a cancer doctor and medical researcher, I have been concerned about and have sought to address issues related to health care disparities. One important step that researchers and medical product sponsors can take to confront health care disparities is to make sure that clinical trials for medical products are more inclusive of multiple populations.



The Federal Trade Commission is sending refunds totaling nearly $150,000 to individuals who lost money to a company called Grand Teton Professionals, which operated a bogus credit-repair scheme.

According to the FTC, Grand Teton Professionals targeted consumers with false promises of substantially improving their credit scores by claiming to remove all negative items and "hard" credit inquiries (which can often change a consumer's credit score) from their credit reports. Additionally, the defendants illegally charged upfront fees for their services and advised customers to mislead credit bureaus and lenders, as well as threatening consumers with lawsuits when they complained or disputed charges.
