Resignation of Dominican Republic Bank Superintendent

Overview

Alejandro Fernández W. announced his decision to step down as the superintendent of the Dominican Republic’s Superintendency of Banks on August 16, 2024, following a six-year tenure. Fernández cited personal and family reasons, alongside a conviction regarding limited public service, for his departure.

During his term, which began in August 2020, the regulator modernized the supervisory framework, expanded financial inclusion, and conducted hundreds of inspections of financial entities. His leadership included the resolution of Bancamérica, which resulted in the transfer of assets and liabilities to a solvent bank and the full reimbursement of depositors.

As his term concludes, the Association of Savings and Loan Banks and Credit Corporations (ABANCORD) recognized his legacy, specifically praising his efforts toward institutional strengthening and the modernization of supervision processes. ABANCORD noted that Fernández maintained open communication and a collaborative relationship with the financial sector while upholding technical rigor and supervisory independence.
