Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Caribbean and Central America, a diversified, upper-middle-income economy led by tourism, manufacturing, and remittances.

It has grown robustly for years, drawing millions of tourists to its beaches and hosting export-manufacturing free zones, though inequality and the situation on the border with troubled Haiti pose challenges.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include tourism (the Caribbean's most visited destination), free-zone manufacturing (medical devices and textiles), mining (gold and nickel), agriculture, and remittances.
