Dominican Republic: Economic activity speeds up in November
Latest reading: Economic activity rose 3.2% in annual terms in November, following a 0.2% increase in the previous month. November’s reading was the strongest since March 2025. Absent a detailed breakdown, stronger growth in tourist arrivals compared to October will have supported the services sector. Moreover, the BCRD noted that stronger public investment in recent months likely bolstered economic momentum. Meanwhile, higher inflation and softer growth in remittances inflows likely tempered retail sales.
On a month-on-month basis, economic activity increased 1.9% in November, following 0.1% growth in the previous month.
