A former banker, Donald Guerrero Ortiz became finance minister of the Dominican Republic in August 2016. Just over a year into his public sector life, he talks to The Banker about the country’s sustained growth (which has outpaced most in the Latin American and Caribbean region), a greater investment in the provision of public services, and the focus on creating the right conditions to attract foreign investors to the local capital markets.
Q: The Dominican Republic has grown at a sustained rate over the past few years. Can this continue?
