The economy of the Dominican Republic expanded by 2.1% in 2025<\/strong>, according to official data released by the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD)<\/strong>. This result came in below the authorities\u2019 projections<\/strong>, which in October had estimated economic growth of approximately 2.5%<\/strong> for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Monthly Index of Economic Activity (IMAE)<\/strong> increased by 2.3% in December<\/strong>, as reported on Thursday by the BCRD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Economic expansion in 2025 was driven primarily by the agricultural and mining sectors<\/strong>, as well as by financial intermediation services<\/strong> and the hotels, bars, and restaurants<\/strong> segment, among other industries, according to the BCRD\u2019s official press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout 2025, the Dominican economy faced significant challenges to growth<\/strong>, despite the monetary and fiscal measures implemented.
