Junta de Supervisión Fiscal

The Junta de Supervisión Fiscal (Fiscal Oversight Board) is a U.S. government-created entity established in 2016 to oversee the financial management of Puerto Rico, which faced a significant debt crisis. Its main role is to ensure that Puerto Rico develops and implements a balanced budget, manages its finances responsibly, and restructures its debt effectively. The board has the authority to review financial plans and budgets, aiming to stabilize the island's economy while also addressing the needs of its residents. It serves as a bridge between Puerto Rico’s government and federal financial assistance.
