The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic held its benchmark interest rate at 5.75% during its April 2025 meeting, following a cumulative reduction of 125 basis points since the last semester of 2024. Annual inflation stood at 3.58% in March, remaining within the 4.0% ± 1.0% target range for 16 consecutive months, while core inflation, at 4.24%, hovered near the midpoint. The Dominican economy expanded by 5.4% year-on-year in March and is projected to grow by around 4.0%–4.5% in 2025, one of the highest rates in the region, as global uncertainty eases and economic policies support domestic demand. To bolster liquidity, the Central Bank has actively managed monetary aggregates, with private sector credit growth moderating to around 8% year-on-year in April, while international reserves stood above US$ 15.0 billion, covering approximately five months of imports.
