The foreign currency loan portfolio of Dominican banks closed 2022 at US$6,351 million, of which US$3,550.2 million, 55.9%, is concentrated in four sectors: tourism (22.2%), industry (12.3%) and 21.3% for commerce and financial activities and insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on these data, available in the “Report on the behavior of the foreign currency portfolio”, published by the Superintendency of Banks (SB), tourism is the sector with a total debt of US$1,409.9 million, while the industry closed 2022 at US$781.2 million. The rest accumulates a debt of US$1,352.8 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Superintendency of Banks highlights that the Dominican financial system has shown wise management of the risks derived from exchange rate fluctuations in the loan portfolio, which is evidenced in the performance in foreign currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This has presented an important participation in the period before and after the pandemic, which is a good indicator that reflects the expectations of the economic agents on the performance and quality of said portfolio”, states the institution in the report published in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
