Puerto Rico Financial Health Index Select the year you want to retrieve data: 2022

ABRE Tu Municipio is the main tool in Puerto Rico to evaluate the finances of all municipalities. The tool was developed by ABRE Puerto Rico, a non-profit organization that works on transparency issues on the Island. The organization assigns a grade to each municipality, which indicates how healthy the finances are in the municipality. You can go to the map or put the name of your municipality to know the grade and explore its financial data.

Nota de desempeño financiero

For the tenth time, ABRE Puerto Rico presents the Fiscal Health Index of municipalities, an instrument that facilitates data-driven decisions. This year, five municipalities (Camuy, Guánica, Loíza, Morovis, and Villalba) did not submit their 2022 audited financial statements on time, so they were left out of the analysis. In summary, the general and aggregate results show that:

44% of municipalities had a deficit in their general fund, an improvement compared to 55%-60% in previous years.
Only 4% lost net assets, a great improvement compared to 54% in 2020 and 23% in 2021.
Only 16% of municipalities reduced their general fund balance, compared to 32% in 2021 and 44% in 2020.
22% of municipalities ended the year with a deficit in their general fund, reflecting a reduction in negative numbers.
0% of municipalities allocate more than 15% of their income to debt payments.
Only 10% of municipalities depend on more than 40% of funds from the central government, showing a decrease in central state dependence.

New Classification System:
This year, we introduced categories such as “Solid”, “Healthy”, “Stable”, “Vulnerable” and “In Crisis” for a clearer understanding of the financial health of municipalities and to improve the results system by grade of A, B, C, D and F.

The Fiscal Health Index is designed to empower citizens with clear information about the finances of their municipalities and promote transparency. Our goal is to facilitate informed decision-making, based on accessible and reliable data. With this tool, we seek to foster constructive dialogue and contribute to continuous improvement in municipal administration, supporting a more efficient and transparent future for Puerto Rico.
