Santo Domingo, DR
Inflation levels remain high in Latin America, influenced by international commodity prices.
However, eleven of the eighteen countries in the region have higher inflation than the Dominican Republic.
It indicates that to counteract inflationary pressures, monetary policy rates (TPM) have been significantly increased in relation to their pre-pandemic levels.
