The struggling Puerto Rican municipal bond market is forcing the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (FINRA) to hire more arbitrators in Puerto Rico, after they were swamped with over 200 investor lawsuits.
After Detroit filed bankruptcy last summer, Puerto Rico's municipal bond market has been struggling.
