Santo Domingo.– Economists and businessmen expect the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will dynamize the Dominican economy during next year´s fist half, with a lot of money circulating, a broadening tax base and several public expenditures.

Members from the Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santiago expect that 2010 will see a change in the economic model that will allow to successfully overcome great financial challenges. 

On the other hand, the National Commercial Businesses Organization (ONEC) chief Pedro Perez said the best thing for the State is to look at 2010 from an economic perspective as a whole and not as two halves, so it can guarantee stability and avoid postponing the solution of the country's deep problems such as corruption and deficits accumulated over decades in health and education.
