Meeting IMF targets. Maintaining strong fiscal performance. Keeping macroeconomic stability. The Dominican Republic’s finance minister, Vicente Bengoa, spends most of his time on these goals while working closely with the country’s president, Leonel Fernández, the central bank governor, Héctor Valdez, and Juan Temístocles, among other cabinet members.
Overall growth forecasts for the year are at about 8%, putting the Dominican Republic on track to become one of the best performing economies in Latin America this year.
