During the groundbreaking ceremony of “Torres Atiemar” to be built with Spanish investment in Santo Domingo’s La Esperilla neighborhood, President Leonel Fernandez expressed his satisfaction with the growth of the construction industry during the current administration, and commented that it was due to the confidence in the stability the DR has acquired. As an example of this he stated that during the last months 30 high-rise buildings have been built. He said that construction serves as an indicator of whether the economy is moving in the right direction or not.
