Santo Domingo.- Former Major League player David Ortiz urges Dominican entrepreneurs to take advantage of loans offered by the National Council for the Promotion and Support of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (Promipyme).

During his official visit, Ortiz, who was received by Promipyme’s director Fabricio Gómez Mazara, emphasized the competitive interest rates offered by the institution.
