The eyes of the world are on the Dominican Republic: Why?

The president of the Official Chamber of Commerce of Spain in the Dominican Republic ( CAMACOESRD ), Francisco “Paco” Pérez, revealed this Wednesday that the eyes of the world are on this country.

Pérez indicated that one of the main reasons is the excellent economic, social, and political stability, “and it’s rare in these polarized times to find a country with these attributes that provide great comfort to investors, knowing that their investment is guaranteed.”

“I believe these are the greatest attributes this country has for investment,” he said.

What can be improved in the Dominican Republic?

Paco Pérez stated that the country has ample opportunities for improvement, especially in the area of ​​infrastructure.

“There are always opportunities. If we want a country to grow, it’s imperative that its road infrastructure, water supply, transportation, etc., grow, and we know the government has that vision,” Pérez said.

For his part, Iban Campo Urriza, secretary of the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic and director of Llorente y Cuenca (LLYC), emphasized another key factor: education focused on skills development.

“We’ve talked a lot about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and we’ve also talked about connecting more closely with innovation,” Campo Urriza said.

The executive explained that innovation and entrepreneurship require specific skills in the use of technology, a challenge the Dominican Republic still needs to address.

“This innovation, this entrepreneurship, also requires certain skills, certain abilities, and the use of technology, which the country must continue to address and work on because it’s not true that it requires a lot of investment, that it requires specific employee qualifications that aren’t available in the Dominican Republic,” he noted.

“There are examples of how we’re also bringing in people specialized in this field to train Dominican talent, in those capacities who have a little insight into what we offer as a country,” he added.

“I believe that giving a little more strength to this aspect of talent development in these types of very specific qualifications that demand what all the technological innovation is bringing, I believe that will make an important difference when it comes to continuing to be our representative throughout Central America and the Caribbean, where we must continue to work with men,” he concluded.
