AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Cement Exports: The Dominican Republic leads Latin America and the Caribbean in cement, lime and gypsum exports, reaching US$581.3m in 2025 and taking 25.4% of the regional total, with 2026 export momentum continuing. Tourism & Credit: Tourism is driving wider economic expansion and boosting private-sector financing, with credit to the private sector up 9.1% year-on-year by June 2026 as banks add more than RD$80 billion in the first half. Government Shake-Up: President Abinader issued decrees replacing and appointing key officials across transport, emergencies, civil aviation, housing, foreign policy, migration, ports and provincial development, including leadership changes at MIVHED and APORDOM. Telecom Modernization: Indotel proposed a new General Law on Telecommunications, Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity to update the sector for fiber, mobile networks, satellite links, submarine cables and data centers, including a single concession system and stronger consumer and cybersecurity rules. Construction Permits Surge: MIVHED hit a record month for construction permits, issuing 201 nationwide in July 2026, up 85% year-on-year, citing modernization and more transparent permitting. Housing Rules for Renters: A legal explainer warns tenants that landlords can’t unilaterally raise rents without written tenant consent or specific authorization under Decree 4807, and outlines steps to challenge abusive increases. Cuban Diplomatic Fallout: The DR expelled nine Cuban diplomats and their families with seven days to leave, prompting Cuba to denounce the move as submission to U.S. policy amid regional security tensions. Industry Branding: The DR created a Regulatory Council for the “Dominican Cigar” geographical indication to protect standards across the supply chain and strengthen international brand reputation. Infrastructure Disruption: MOPC will temporarily close the Ozama River floating bridge for two hours this Saturday for vessel passage, urging drivers to use alternate bridges.
