High production costs affect Dominican exports

The executive vice president of the Santo Domingo Chamber of Commerce, Fernando Ferran, says that the Dominican Republic needs to reduce its production costs for companies to be in a better position to compete. He commented that the high electricity and transport costs, and unskilled labor are some of the obstacles to Dominican exports. Ferran said that more investment in infrastructure and technology was needed to improve the quality of goods made in the Dominican Republic, as reported in Listin Diario.
