During the period January-June this year, the free zone sector registered the highest number of jobs in the last 22 years, reaching 190,472 direct jobs, experiencing a relative growth of 11% compared to the same period last year, when figures reached 171,682.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The executive director of the National Council of Free Zones (CNZF), Daniel Liranzo said that these levels of jobs highlight the dominance and strength free zones have in creating new jobs, registering around 20,000 jobs above those existing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also explained that all the productive activities of the sector recorded increases in their employment levels during that period, highlighting the following: manufacture of tobacco and derivatives, medical devices, electrical products, textile manufacturing, call centers, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This increase in employment has been at the level of all the industrial parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said all free zone parks saw a growth in the number of jobs, with the largest increases in free zone parks in the North region and the province of Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liranzo emphasized that this trend of increased employment is a very importance factor for the country because it helps boost the economy and the social welfare of people by generating an economic spiral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Liranzo pointed out that these increases are due to the current commercial reactivation within this sector, induced by the international demand for goods and by the support provided to the free zones by the Dominican Government, headed by President Luis Abinader Corona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
