A delegation from the International Monetary Fund yesterday met with the President and confirmed the Dominican Republic's economic performance was "highly satisfactory" and that a 7% growth figure was expected.

The meeting was held after a commission of the IMF concluded the fourth revision of the monetary program signed in November last year.

Dominican Banco Central Supremo Héctor Valdez was present at the meeting and told the delegation that between July and September this year, the economy had actually grown at a rate of 7.6%.
