Francisco Canahuate considers that the tariff of customs duties requires the unification of the three exchange rates, i.e. the Central Bank, the commercial banks, and the retail money exchanges. This would mean that the rates of duty on imports would be calculated at a constant rate. He suggests a base rate of RD$14.00 and not RD$12.85 for US$1, as is the case at present. He proposes that the measure should not imply an alteration in the real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the peso and would correct an abnormality that is causing a mistaken “economic perception”.
