*The Dominican Republic’s central bank (BCRD) has released new figures showing that foreign direct investment (FDI) to the country totalled US$2.89bn in the first half of 2025, up 15.3% on the same period in 2024. According to the BCRD, this figure is in line with its forecasts that the year will close with FDI inflows worth over US$4.7bn. According to the BCRD, 25.7% of FDI in the first half of 2025 went to the energy sector, followed by tourism (22.4%), mining (14.5%), and real estate (13.8%). The BCRD highlights in particular the increased inflows to the energy sector, which previously accounted for much less FDI (7.5% in the first half of 2019). It attributed the rise to government incentives targeting the renewable energy sector.
