According to the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reached a record-breaking US$5.032 billion by the close of 2025. This represents a significant 14.7% increase compared to 2024, continuing a steady upward trend for the country’s economy.
The surge was primarily driven by the tourism sector, which accounted for approximately 25% of the total investment. The Dominican Republic offers tax and labor conditions that continue to attract foreign investment in the sector.
Other major contributors included the energy, real estate, and commerce sectors.
This influx of capital has bolstered the country’s international reserves and contributed to exchange rate stability, supporting a favorable climate for sustained growth.
The BCRD attributes this success to the Dominican Republic’s legal security, political stability, and its competitive position as a premier investment destination in the Caribbean.
This milestone reinforces the nation’s role as a regional leader in attracting foreign capital, fueled by diversified investment and robust economic fundamentals.
