A ray of hope

Q

In your article, “Puerto Rico Governor Unveils New Budget Plan,” you said, “If the governor’s plan is successful, this may provide a ray of hope for Puerto Rico bondholders….” What do you mean?

Clearly, there have not been an abundance of optimistic reports regarding the viability of Puerto Rico’s debt.

A balanced budget and a concise, long-term economic plan can be perceived as a step in the right direction – i.e. “a ray of hope” – for the commonwealth.
