Uncertain ‘adjustments’
Q
In your article, “Puerto Rico: Unable or Unwilling?” you quote the president of the Government Development Bank as saying officials expect to negotiate a “consensual adjustment” regarding Puerto Rico’s debt. What kind of haircut are we talking about? I committed my financial resources to their bonds and now I’m supposed to give even more.

In her remarks, the president of the GDB, Melba Acosta, did not quantify what she called “adjustments.” At this point, we don’t know what she has in mind.
