Santo Domingo.- Industry and Commerce minister Nelson Toca Simó on Tue. said expectations over Dominican Republic’s economy are growing, with exports expected to exceed US$10.0 billion this year.

He said 2016 exports were US$8.8 billion and US$9.9 in 2017. “We are now on the verge of breaking a historical barrier of more than 10 billion in exports”.

Toca said the government looks to exempt the micro, small and medium-sized Dominican companies from paying the Income Tax in Advance.
