The CD rates at Banco Central have just changed ...... Down again!! You can take 3, 6, 12, 24 & 30 month periods for the CDs & rates vary accordingly (from 8% up to 12% as I recall but you need to check that).muluco said:Is it practical or possible to take advantage of the higher interest rates in the DR? I think dr1 mentioned some goverment CDs in 6 and 12 month terms that paid around 16-20%. My wife is still a DR citizen.The investment would be in US dollars.
