In brief: IMF upbeat on Dominican growth
*Emilio Fernández-Corugedo, the head of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission which visited the Dominican Republic for a staff visit, has said that the Fund is forecasting that the country will post GDP growth of 4.5% this year and 5.1% in 2026. His comments were cited by the Dominican Republic’s central bank (BCRD) following a meeting with the bank’s president Héctor Valdez Albizu who highlighted that the country had posted 5.0% GDP growth in 2024, one of the highest in Latin America. Albizu also underlined that within the last 15 months, inflation in the Dominican Republic had remained within the target range of 4 % +/- 1%, standing at 3.56% year-on-year in February 2025.
