Daniel Rivera warns about the impact of the Haitian crisis on the Dominican economy
The senator for the province of Santiago, Daniel Rivera, emphasized this Thursday the urgency of finding a definitive solution to the instability that Haiti is going through. According to the legislator, the prolonged crisis in the neighboring country has become a constant pressure factor that affects both the economy and the security of the Dominican Republic.
Rivera expressed his absolute support for the position of President Luis Abinader, who has consistently advocated before the international community for a democratic solution that allows for the restoration of institutional order in Haitian territory.
It is incredible pressure for our country and, if it fails to resolve its democratic process, it will be a constant economic and political pressure on the Dominican Republic.

Economic and security challenges
According to the congressman, the lack of stability in Haiti forces the Dominican State to make significant and permanent investments in the border strip. These resources, aimed mainly at strengthening security, seek to prevent incidents and mitigate the collateral effects of the neighboring crisis.
- Constant pressure on the national budget for border surveillance.
- Need for a coordinated international response to ensure regional stability.
- Direct impact on national economic performance due to the burden represented by the current situation.
A vision towards stability
For Rivera, the path toward an improvement in the Dominican Republic’s economic performance necessarily involves the stabilization of Haiti. The senator maintains that, by reducing tension at the border, the country will be able to optimize its resources and focus its efforts on internal development.
The legislator reiterated that the situation in the neighboring country is not an isolated issue, but a strategic priority for national security, reaffirming his commitment to state policies that seek to protect the sovereignty and well-being of Dominicans.
