Puerto Rico's economy is manufacturing-heavy, with pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food processing leading, supported by U.S. tax incentives. Tourism thrives on beaches, Old San Juan, and bioluminescent bays. As a U.S. territory, it benefits from federal aid but faces debt crises and hurricane recovery challenges. Agriculture, including coffee and rum, is minor but culturally significant. Services like finance and real estate grow. High unemployment and migration to the mainland persist. Reforms aim at renewable energy and tech hubs. Puerto Rico's strategic Caribbean position offers trade potential, though fiscal dependencies and natural disasters test resilience.
