Early last week, Héctor Valdez Albizu was re-appointed governor of the Central Bank by President Leonel Fernández. Andrés Dauhajre, president of the Unión Nacional de Empresarios (UNE) and Celso Marranzini, president of the Asociación de Industrias de la República Dominicana (AIRD), have both commented that the confirmation of Mr. Valdez Albizu’s continuation in office is a very good decision on the part of the President; his management has maintained the macroeconomic stability of the country.
