The Dominican Republic has reported a 2.2% economic growth from January to September 2025, as announced by the Central Bank (BCRD). This growth, compared to the same period in 2024, has been fueled by robust performances in several critical sectors. Agriculture led the charge with a 3.9% increase, closely followed by mining at 3.7%, financial services at 7.4%, and tourism at 3.3%. The tourism sector, in particular, saw a significant boost with 8.6 million visitors, marking a 2.7% rise from the previous year. Governor Héctor Valdez Albizu emphasized the role of these sectors in driving the nation’s economic momentum. Additionally, exports surged by 11.7% to reach US$11.6 billion, while tourism revenues and remittances contributed US$8.5 billion and US$8.9 billion, respectively. Foreign direct investment also played a crucial role, amounting to US$4 billion, primarily directed towards mining, energy, and communications projects. The Central Bank anticipates a gradual return to potential growth in the upcoming quarters, supported by stabilizing global conditions and increased investment. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projects an overall growth rate of 3.4% for the Dominican Republic by the end of 2025.
