D.R. statistics (Cost of Living)
- Status
The Dominican Republic Central Bank website publishes these reports:
Banco Central de la Repblica Dominicana
Banco Central de la Repblica Dominicana
Yes, they do, but they are rather difficult to interpret. I would go to the site of the central bank (<www.bancocentral.gov.do>) [which might even be a correct citation, I don't know]
Anyway, the data is out there is several places and it is referred to in newspaper articles...the cost of living index in the DR has been stable +/- for most of the year due to the government's handling of the world financial crisis. They talk about a less than 5% inflation rate...How accurate is this? Well diesel fuel, used to move everything in the country, has gone up more than 28% yet oil prices have reamined in the 60-75 range...LPG used by every taxi and publicois up more than 40%
Go figure...

Hillbilly,
Thank you to you for your response, I will study the data on the Central Banc website,
Your info on the real price index however makes me question the data, I will se if I can get a list of the items they chose to include in their statistic on the Index.
Thanks again,
Suzanne
