Many economists consider 2010 the year of the Dominican Republic’s recovery as evidenced by a 7.5% growth of its economy.
Frederic Emám- Zadé and René Villarreal affirm that the country’s economic growth is led by the expansion of the activities that are seen to meet the internal demand, as the construction and telecom industries boast a brisker reactivation than tourism and free zones.
The economists were interviewed for the second edition of the magazine Observa-RD, published every four months, which tracks the country’s economic performance in the short and medium term under a worldwide perspective, and the country’s free trade agreements, such as Dr-Cafta with the United States and Central America, and the Trade and Development Agreement with Europe.
