Interesting to see what collective wisdom has to say on this country:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic#Economy

I have to say though, that this part is quite sobering:

------------
According to the 2005 Annual Report of the United Nations Subcommitee on Human Development in the Dominican Republic, the country is ranked #71 in the world for resource availability, #94 for human development, and #14 in the world for resource mismanagement. These statistics emphasize the national government corruption, the foreign economic interference in the country, and the rift between the rich and poor.

Interesting.

Just keep in mind, the 2005 report, really reports on what occured in 2004. The reports are a year late.

Would be interesting to see what the 2006 report emphasizes, though no one should be suprised.
