Abstract

1. Rasgos generales de la evolución reciente En 2004 la actividad económica de la República Dominicana creció 2%, índice que permitió compensar la disminución de 1,9% de 2003 y superar el resultado que se esperaba a inicios de año. El entorno internacional fue favorable, por lo que el sector exportador presentó un desempeño positivo, aunque moderado. Tanto el ingreso de turistas como las exportaciones de bienes nacionales aumentaron, pero la actividad en las zonas francas prácticamente se estancó. También continuaron elevándose las remesas familiares, hasta alcanzar un monto equivalente al 12% del producto interno bruto (PIB). La demanda interna, en contraste, siguió afectada por las consecuencias de la crisis bancaria ocurrida en 2003. Si bien se observó una gradual recuperación del consumo, la inversión retrocedió, con lo que se acumularon 10 trimestres de persistente caída. The Dominican Republic: Economic evolution during 2004 and perspectives for 2005 Abstract: 1. General features of the recent evolution In 2004, the growth rate of the economy of the Dominican Republic was 2%, a rate which compensated the 1,9% decrease in 2003, and exceeded the result expected at the beginning of the year. The international environment was favourable, which allowed the export sector to post a positive, albeit modest, growth. Income generated by tourism as well as exports of national goods increased, although the activity in the free trade zones remained at a virtual standstill. Remittances also continued increasing reaching an amount of 12% of the gross domestic product (GDP). In contrast, domestic demand remained affected by the consequences of the 2003 banking crisis. Despite the fact that a gradual recovery of consumption was observed, investment decreased, accumulating 10 quarters of negative growth.
