The Dominican Republic economy has been the FASTEST growing economy in Latin America for the last 20 years. 

From 2001 until 2022, the Country’s GDP grew 5X! (from US $21.4B to $113.6B), and the GDP per capita 4X! (from US $2,400 to over $10,100)! Yes at $10,000 per person it is still very low compared to other countries, but the standard of living gap is closing fast! But as Investors, trends are what matters the most.
