WASHINGTON, DC - Puerto Rico ought to be the jewel of the Caribbean.

European firms doing business in North and South America locate their corporate headquarters in Miami, Panama City, and elsewhere, with almost none choosing Puerto Rico.

Unlike Greece, Puerto Rico is not a country (which means that it is not eligible for financing from the International Monetary Fund).

Yet it has features of both: Although it has its own constitution, it is a United States territory, Puerto Ricans are US citizens, and the island is subject to US federal law, except as otherwise stipulated.

For example, Puerto Rico is subject to the Jones Act, which requires using very costly US-built ships and crews for all sea transport to and from the mainland.

Puerto Rico's current troubles trace their origin to the gradual withdrawal, starting in 1996, of earlier exemptions from US corporate taxes for companies located on the island.

Puerto Rico's economy recorded little growth after 1996, and real (inflation-adjusted) GDP has been falling for the past decade.

Puerto Rico and the US government each bear responsibility.

Given the ease with which Puerto Ricans move to the mainland, raising taxes is unlikely to increase revenues.

Meanwhile, the US government could exempt Puerto Rico from the Jones Act, extend to it Chapter 9 bankruptcy coverage, and align the island's welfare and labor requirements with its productivity level.

Puerto Rico's governor, Alejandro García Padilla, has appointed a working group to produce a five-year program to restore growth and fiscal sustainability.

There is plenty of blame to go around for these failures. Puerto Rico and the US government each bear responsibility.

Bills to make Puerto Rico eligible for Chapter 9 are being introduced in Congress.

These and other measures now under consideration promise to improve Puerto Rico's economic prospects.

Puerto Rico is not Greece; successive governors of the island have introduced budgets they thought were balanced, only to find that inadequate growth led to lower revenues and higher expenditures than had been projected.
