Dominican Republic Vehicles market in 2018 reported a shy recovery. Indeed, after the previous year’s sharp drop, the market grew just 1.3% selling 21.300 units.
Economic Environment
The economy of the Dominican Republic grew by 4.6% in 2017, substantially less than the previous year’s 6.6% expansion. This loss of momentum is explained mainly by a slackening of domestic demand, particularly investment.
Construction and mining were the sectors that slowed most abruptly. The more active fiscal policy adopted by the Dominican authorities in the second half of the year fuelled a moderate increase in the central government deficit, which widened to 3.0% of GDP by end-2017
