The routine mission from the International Monetary Fund met late last week with the leaders of the private sector — the board of directors of the National Business Council (Conep). As reported, the talks covered perspectives for investment, sustained development, and structural issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conep stressed their allegiance to sustained growth, economic confidence, and their contribution to the overall development of the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous meetings held by the IMF included the Ministry of Hacienda and Economy, and the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hector Valdez Albizu chaired the final meeting of the IMF visit on Friday, 12 September 2025, and the IMF delegates were said to be happy to express their take on the Dominican situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the subtext of the visit was said to be \u201cunder Article IV of the IMF,\u201d IMF has yet to post an update on the meeting on their website under this chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, Article IV is a two-way policy dialogue between the IMF and national authorities regarding such issues as fiscal policy aspects, financial questions, foreign exchange, monetary and structural policies. It is basically financial surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, as reported the IMF mission found that the lack of major social unrest, and a lot of foreign and local investments bode well for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to mission chief Ricardo Llaudes, \u201crobust monetary policies, and a stable economy create high investment flows.\u201d He also noted that in conversations with the private sector (Conep), he found that optimism had pushed aside feelings of uncertainty. Llaudes added that inflation had been stymied within predicted ranges for three straight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
