“Debt-ravaged Puerto Rico is in default after forking over only a fraction due in a bond payment, Moody’s said in a statement Monday afternoon.  An agency associated the government of the island, a territory of the United States, only made a partial repayment Monday to creditors on bonds issued through the island’s Public Finance Corporation.  Puerto Rico’s Government Development Bank, of which Public Finance is a subsidiary, paid only $628,000 of the $58 million due.  The fractional payoff shows Puerto Rico’s deepening debt crisis. The commonwealth is desperately trying to restructure its $72 billion debt.”
