Dominican Republic approves 10 new Free Zone companies

Santo Domingo.- The National Council of Export Free Zones approved permits for 10 new free zone companies during its third ordinary board meeting of 2026, projects expected to generate more than US$14 million in investment and create over 480 direct jobs across several provinces in the Dominican Republic.

According to Cnzfe Executive Director Johannes Kelner, the new companies will operate in various productive and service sectors, helping diversify the country’s export offerings and strengthen industrial development. Authorities said the projects are also expected to positively impact local economies and expand productive activity nationwide.

During the session, the council also signed agreements with the Dominican State for three new free zone parks, a move officials said reinforces legal certainty and investor confidence in the country as a stable business destination.

The meeting was chaired by Vice Minister of Free Zones and Special Regimes Lucía Ynés Zorrilla, alongside Kelner and other members of the board. Officials reaffirmed their commitment to promoting policies aimed at attracting investment and supporting sustainable economic growth through the expansion of the free zone sector.
