From January to November 2024, remittances amounted to US$9.7525 billion, an increase of US$540.3 million (5.9%) compared to the same period last year. Additionally, tourism revenues are projected to exceed US$10 billion this year, according to the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The institution reported that in November alone, US$840.8 million in remittances were received, marking a year-over-year increase of 6.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BCRD explained that the economic performance of the United States was a key factor influencing remittance flows. In November, 81.3% of formal remittance flows\u2014equivalent to US$652.1 million\u2014originated from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analyzing recent developments in the external sector, the BCRD projects a significant inflow of foreign currency by the end of 2024, amounting to over US$34 billion. This figure includes tourism revenues of approximately US$10.7 billion and a similar amount from remittances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, estimates for year-end point to foreign direct investment (FDI) flows exceeding US$4.5 billion. These foreign currency inflows contribute to maintaining the relative exchange rate stability currently observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The institution emphasized that higher external revenues have also allowed for an adequate level of international reserves, which, as of November 2024, reached US$13.0904 billion. These reserves cover approximately five months of imports and represent 10.5% of GDP, surpassing the thresholds recommended by the IMF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
