Figures that mark a milestone in foreign trade
During the event, it was highlighted that the Dominican Republic currently has 3,629 companies that take their products and services to 165 international markets. The sector has shown remarkable dynamism, moving from modest exports in the late 80s to consolidating itself as a fundamental pillar for job creation and the development of local suppliers.
For her part, the executive vice president of the institution, Roselyn Amaro Bergés, emphasized that the current challenge is to continue expanding the export base. The key, as she indicated, lies in the ability of companies to integrate technology, services, and creativity into their growth strategies, always relying on world-class competitiveness standards.
The evening concluded with a high-level artistic performance, including the participation of the Philharmonic Orchestra and the renowned singer Maridalia Hernández, thus celebrating a 40-year legacy of promoting the success of Dominican brands abroad.
