The globalization increased the fragmentation of production as a result of economies of scale and challenged countries to seek competitiveness with respect to the attraction and retention of multinational companies. As discussed in the first chapter, industrial incentives policies to attract FDI in the manufacturing sector have been essential element in the strategy for the economic development of Puerto Rico from the decade of 1940–1950. The main objective of the chapter is to discuss the current strategy of economic incentives and competitiveness of Puerto Rico in the attraction and retention of multinational companies, with reference to the companies that made closures and relocations in the period 2005–2012.
