The Executive Branch via the Ministry of Hacienda sent to the Senate a bill for placement of bonds for RD$110.8 billion. The bill authorizes the Ministry of Hacienda to issue the public debt bonds for RD$110.8 billion or their equivalent in US dollars. The funds will be included in the 2015 National Budget. The explanation is that the placement will reduce the cost of government financing of debt in the medium and long range, as well as contributing to the development of the domestic capital market.
