I have been following DR news, by the looks of things, confidence in DR economy is building up, dollar's tendency is downward (as of yesterday in the 37.50 range or so), the government is slashing national spending by retiring many generals etc., the power debacle is easing, appears that their is an influx of foreign capital. Is this to say that Dominican economy is staging a come back although it may be a slow one but sure one? Which would also lead me to believe that the state of the economy today is due not only to negligence and leadership failure but also to opposing parties to make things worse as to appear to be the saviors of the DR? In any case, is the confidence of you, the forum participants and expats living in DR currently, in the Dominican economy well founded, although cautious? For many of us, who are thinking to move to DR, timing is essential to the planning of such a move and doing this in improving DR economic conditions is best. I would like to know from my fellow forum participants their opinions.
