Freddy Ortiz, president of the Association of Remittance Companies, does not believe the attack will affect the level of remittances sent to the DR. He said the remittances declined on Tuesday and Wednesday because remittance houses in New York closed, but today they will reopen. He said remittance levels could change if hundreds of Dominicans lose their jobs. He said the news of the attack did not increase the local demand for dollars.
