About This Report

  
Abstract:

The Dominican Republics economy has displayed considerable resilience in recent years, though major structural reforms are still needed. GDP growth is forecast to slow to a still-decent 5.5% in 2016 from an impressive 6.9% last year as earlier favourable tailwinds including low oil prices ease. However, strong tourism flows, new investment projects and a stable macro outlook remain supportive and against this backdrop, it is likely that President Medina will be re-elected this month, suggesting a continuation of his pro-business policies. On the financial front, an international bond issue of $1bn in January provides more flexibility in financing the budget deficit, forecast to widen modestly to 3% of GDP in 2016 following the fiscal consolidation efforts of previous years. But there has been a concerning build up in external debt since 2011 and we forecast external debt to reach 50% of GDP by 2019 and annual interest payments to reach an all-time high of $1bn in 2018.
