Presidential Office Technical Secretary Carlos Despradel has announced that 11 February is the date for the signing of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund. He also revealed that a Dominican delegation would be attending talks next week with the Paris Club to renegotiate the terms of the country’s debt repayments. The government has said that the approval of the IMF agreement will lead to the disbursement of US$300 million over the next two months. Despradel, along with Central Bank Governor Jose Lois Malkun, said that the injection of dollars into the Dominican economy would have positive effects. The government also informed that to date RD$3 billion had been recovered from the so-called Baninter void through the sale of the bank’s assets. This ongoing process is expected to generate an additional RD$10 billion in the coming year, according to Despradel.
