President Mejia is scheduled to speak to the nation on his plans for his second year in government. Press director Luis Gonzalez Fabra said the speech is full of optimism. The country expects to benefit short term from the injection of US$497.5 million as a result of the sovereign bonds. The money comes at a time when productive sectors are already enjoying macroeconomic stability and new lows in interest rates. The talk is scheduled to be telecast by Radio Television Dominicana at 9 pm. Other stations may carry it live.
