Ligia Bonetti, president of the Dominican Republic Association of Industries (AIRD) says that most of the government’s plans for reforming industrial policies and the sector are merely papers and meetings, with little action being taken to improve the country’s competitiveness. AIRD representatives told the Corripio news group editors that they have met with several government entities on numerous occasions to discuss the changes needed to improve production and increase exports and jobs, but only promises have been received. They have not met with the government since February. The manufacturers are concerned that by the end of 2015 most exports from the United States will enter the DR without tariffs.
