Between 2016 and 2022, the Dominican Republic received an average of US$3,159 million in foreign direct investment (FDI), ranking above countries such as Costa Rica (US$3,086 million), Panama, Guyana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador.
The data is contained in the study “Impact of foreign investment in the Dominican Republic: Let’s double investment”, presented by the Dominican Association of Foreign Investment Companies (Asiex) in conjunction with the firm Ecoanalítica.
The study details that the Dominican Republic had a leading participation as a recipient of FDI among the countries of Central America and the Caribbean, after reaching 18%, followed by Costa Rica with 17%, the rest of the Caribbean with 16%, Panama with a participation of 15% and Guyana which had 12%, among others.
“That makes the Dominican Republic the largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the 2016-2022 period,” said Alejandro Grisanti, director of Ecoanalítica, the day before yesterday.
