The SEDE president, Manuel García Troncoso, explained that “there are now more opportunities than ever to invest in the Dominican Republic safely, and not only in tourism but also in other fields such as universities, hospitals, supermarkets or infrastructure -water, energy, waste management, transport, health, training, restoration, among others, that can withstand the significant growth of the country”.
On his side, the minister of Industry, Trade and MISMEs, Victor Bisonó, stated that his ministry is very committed to strengthening trade ties and promoting opportunities in the Dominican Republic, and insisted on “the wealth of opportunities that the country offers for investment, especially in the free zone sector and manufacturing industry”.
