The Superintendent of Banks, Vicente Bengoa disputed the claim by Donald Reid Cabral, acting president of the PRSC, that the debt of the government with private banks is RD$7,000 million. He said that as of September the debt was RD$1,064 million. He asked politicians to leave out the banking sector from their political debates because it affects the trust of the people in the sector, which in turn results in restrictions on credit on behalf of foreign banks.
