The complete series of the EAI concurs with the economic cycles of the Puerto Rico's economy. It starts in January 1980 and exhibits the recession of FY1979 to FY1983, the
subsequent recuperation period, the mild recession of FY1991 with its expansion phase, and the recession of 2001. It also shows the downward path of the Index since the
beginning of the 2006 recession with a recuperation episode in 2012, after which the EAI resumed its descendent trend in 2013. The collapse experienced after hurricanes Irma
and Maria struck the Island in September 2017, and the subsequent effect of the recovery efforts are also displayed. The last drop corresponds to the January 7th, 2020,
earthquakes and its related aftershocks, compounded by the burdens that the COVID-19 global pandemic stresses on the economic activity. Now Puerto Rico's economy is
entering a recovery period that is at pre-Hurricane Irma and Maria levels.
