Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello said the government’s ability to pay even a fraction of its debts was reduced by the crippling blow of Hurricane Maria, which has caused tens of thousands of residents to leave and pushed the economy into a deep contraction.

Bondholders are wondering what their payouts would be. Residents are wondering when the lights will come on.

Puerto Rico bondholders got some unwelcome, if widely expected, news from the insolvent island: For the next five years, there’s basically no money for repaying debt. So now, they’re left waiting to see how the fight over the territory’s scarce funds plays out in bankruptcy court.

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello said he’s moving to privatize the assets of the island’s electric company, a utility so badly damaged by Hurricane Maria that millions have been left in the dark for months.

Puerto Rico thinks its five-year growth prospects actually got better after Hurricane Maria, not worse.

Puerto Rico may pave the way for struggling U.S. cities and states to bite the hands that fed them billions.
