During this quarter, two economic freedom indexes were published in which Puerto Rico was included, for the first time, because of ILE's work. The first was the prestigious Economic Freedom of North America 2022 from the Fraser Institute and the second, License to Work: A National Study of Burdens from Occupational Licensing, 3rd Edition from the Institute for Justice.
Learn about the results of our Puerto Rico Free Market Landscape, which included 23 in-depth interviews with influential leaders in Puerto Rico, as well as 149 responses to an online questionnaire. The feedback collected was used to guide our strategic planning for the next two years.
Thanks to the research carried out over the past few months, Puerto Rico will be part of three important economic freedom and free-market indexes.
As part of our programs at ILE, we want to educate about economic liberty and its benefits to give knowledge and power to the people. For this, we have started publishing a series of educational essays authored by distinguished university professors and other expert collaborators from Puerto Rico, the United States, and other countries.
We are pleased to send you our first newsletter. Two years ago, we set out to create a free-market think tank to remove public sector barriers and enable equal opportunities for everyone in Puerto Rico to prosper. Thus, the Puerto Rico Institute for Economic Liberty (ILE) was born.
