President Luis Abinader has expanded his administration’s focus toward strategic regional development and decentralized economic growth. A new development plan targets four key growth poles: Manzanillo, Punta Bergantín, Cabo Rojo, and Miches. Central to this is the Manzanillo Port, which is currently at 52.9% physical and 56% financial execution, with an expected delivery in early 2027. Infrastructure efforts have intensified with the allocation of approximately 480 million USD, funded by the Aerodom contract renegotiation, for various works. Recent developments include the inauguration of the Pedro Martínez Educational and Sports Complex in Manoguayabo, the opening of new high schools in Santiago province, and the inauguration of the Prof. Altagracia Thelma Sánchez Castillo Primary School in San José de Ocoa. To address urban flooding, the government is constructing a massive storm drainage system on Gregorio Luperón Avenue in Santo Domingo. Funded via the Aerodom contract, the project involves a subterranean tunnel approximately three kilometers long, five meters in diameter, and over 10 meters deep, designed to direct rainwater to the Caribbean Sea. Social welfare and housing initiatives have also expanded. Through the “El Presidente en el Barrio” program, the administration is delivering property titles and community infrastructure. Recent actions include the inauguration of the Los Girasoles ravine sanitation project, which involves an investment exceeding RD$1,000 million and includes housing solutions for affected families, and the delivery of 97 apartments at Residencial Las Acacias I. To support middle- and low-income households, Banreservas has provided over RD$200 million in mortgage credits for the Las Acacias II residential project, offering fixed interest rates of 8% for seven years. Additionally, the administration has distributed 422 property titles to provide legal security to families in Santo Domingo Norte and other sectors. Social inclusion efforts have continued through the “Primero Tú” initiative.
