Economic Growth + Full COVID Recovery
“Over the past 25 years, the Dominican Republic (DR) has experienced a remarkable period of robust economic growth. The economy expanded by an average of 5.3 percent in 2000–19, driven primarily by capital accumulation and total factor productivity growth.
The economy recovered strongly in 2021, with GDP rebounding by 12.3 percent, supported by a solid policy response to COVID-19, including fiscal, macro-prudential and supervisory policies, and monetary easing. Tourism, remittances, foreign direct investment, mining revenues, free-trade zones, and telecommunications have helped make the DR the second fastest growing economy in LAC over the last decade, and as of 2019 the country was on track to realize its ambition of achieving high-income status by 2030.” –
