Despite the crisis in Haiti, DR exports continue to grow to the neighboring country

Although the Republic of Haiti is experiencing one of its worst moments in history in socioeconomic, security, health and political terms, this has not represented a problem when the Dominican Republic exports to the neighboring nation.

However, monitoring and special attention to what is happening in that country is needed, said the director of the Investment and Export Center of the Dominican RepublicBibiana Riveiro.

The director noted that exports have not been affected, but the numbers are there and show that exports have continued to grow on the whole issue of political, social, and economic stability in Haiti.”

It is recalled that, as a result of the pandemic, exports had stopped last year. But in July 2021, the Dominican government decided to restart them, motivated by humanitarian and commercial reasons, measures that will contribute to maintaining peaceful coexistence in the border area. The measure, which will be implemented through the National Security and National Defense Councilwas made known by the Presidency of the Republic, in a statement distributed to the media.

It is recalled that last Wednesday, the 7th of the same month, the Dominican Government, by decision of the National Security and Defense Council, ordered the immediate closure of the border with Haiti, after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

The decision seeks to maintain the supply of the Haitian commercial system at the levels required to reduce the possibility of a general shortage that produces social instability and migratory flows.

The Presidency of the Republic explained that this measure seeks to preserve national security and maintain preventive control of the possible increase in the irregular migratory flow as a result of the political and social instability produced after the assassination of President Moïse.
