The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has sent a group of technicians to review the purchase contract that was arranged by the Dominican Government and Union Fenosa of Spain. There are, according to Finance Minister Rafael Calderon, as reported in the Listin Diario, three main areas of concern: how the fiscal aspects of the purchase may impact the economy, the increasing debt carried by the country and the effectiveness of the managerial capacities of the public sector in handling these companies? Calderon told reporters that the Presidential commission had prepared a document for the IMF, explaining how the companies had been operating, how the country would stand if the UF continued operating the distributors and how the government plans to run the Ede-Norte and the Ede-Sur. The technicians will be meeting with personnel from the Superintendent of Electricity’s office, as well as people from the CDEEE. The final report will go to the government and the IMF’s board of directors.
