Surveys performed within the Dominican industrial sector indicate that the greatest negative impact on competitiveness is the electric problem, followed by the lack of expeditiousness in customs and port authority, the training of human resources, quality development, packing in the industrial processes and tax equality, according to a report in Listin Diario. DR Industry Association President Yandra Portela Vila said a national competitiveness pact is needed that should include the electric sector as the main topic to solve the problem. Portela Vila spoke during a meeting sponsored by Listin Diario as part of its 116th anniversary celebrations.
