I know there are some obvious factors to this, like the people who have to pay for gas for thier stove, electricity and phone are losing if thier pay is fixed in pesos. But I guess what I would like to hear is what businesses do you see as booming and what businesses are suffering.
From what I see, the All Inclusive Resorts are benifitting the most, I am familiar with Playa Dorada in Puerto Plata. I know that is doing well. I'd imagine the same for Punta Cana and La Romana. From what I have herd and seen a little Satiago has been economically depressed (I'd like to here if a business is doing well there). And maybe some midsized tourist complexes right on the beach in Sosua have been manageing fairly well. But what have you seen? If something good is to become of this I'd like to know what businesses are making out well.
From what I hear farming is under harsh economic pressure, and the government makes low rate loans to provide power to the farms for farm product processing.
And dispite the economic downturn, the local retail outlet in Puerto Plata "Casa Neilson" seems to be doing well no matter what happens.
