Risk assessment firm Standard & Poor’s has extolled the administrative strengthening and the leadership that is currently operating in the Dominican electricity sector. They said that this was one of the reasons that they revised the risks associated with the nation to “positive”. The Dominican State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE) described the S & P’s revision as “a turning point”, and the company reiterated the country’s “B positive” rating. The S & P’s report adds that there are stable prospects for the Dominican Republic to have strong growth, a better handling of the debt, and strong leadership in the electricity sector. The CDEEE says that part of the S & P’s position comes after a 49% reduction in administrative costs, and the fulfillment of the obligations with the IMF.
