Dominican President Luis Abinader praised for post‑pandemic economy and anti‑corruption reforms

In a commentary on the Dominican Republic’s government, President Luis Abinader is credited with three notable achievements. First, the post‑pandemic economic recovery saw a rapid rebound in tourism, record foreign investment, high foreign‑exchange reserves and steady central‑bank management, preventing a fiscal crisis.

Second, institutional reforms have increased the autonomy of the public prosecutor’s office and introduced greater transparency in public procurement, with swift actions taken against corrupt officials.

Third, the administration’s “country‑branding” efforts have boosted the nation’s international profile, attracting investment and offering legal certainty to investors. The author notes that while these successes are acknowledged, the government must still address remaining weaknesses.
