Dominican Central Bank receives U.S. Treasury delegation to advance financial inclusion

During the meeting, Valdez Albizu highlighted the importance of technical support for developing financing tools that benefit micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), including initiatives related to factoring, financial leasing, and lending backed by movable assets. He said these measures could help broaden access to credit and support the growth of a key sector of the Dominican economy.

The discussions also addressed potential assistance in updating the country’s regulatory framework, including bank resolution mechanisms, contingency funds, oversight of virtual assets, and systemic risk monitoring. U.S. officials said they will evaluate the feasibility of a technical assistance program aligned with the Central Bank’s institutional objectives and practical reform priorities.
