Key Findings

The current agreement reduces the amount owed by PREPA by 15%. 80% would be a more reasonable number, and bondholders should be prepared to accept a principal reduction between 70 percent and 90 percent of the debt paid by PREPA ratepayers.

The $8.26 billion in debt claimed by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) bondholders should not be borne by island ratepayers and small investors.
