The Dominican Republic is not well known by those who make important investment decisions around the world. This is why the Center for Exports and Investment (CEI-DR) is trying to develop a plan to promote the DR trademark. CEI-DR head Eddy Martinez Manzueta is trying to get as much input as he can from the different business and social sectors of the Dominican Republic. Speaking at the Economic Encounter at Hoy newspaper, Martinez and his staff told the reporters that the idea is to project an image of the Dominican Republic that shows the capacity of the nation in diverse areas. He emphasized exports of cigars, bananas, beer and rum as just a few of the items that are making “Made in the Dominican Republic” a better-known trademark.
