Santo Domingo.- The World Bank chief economist for Latin America, Augusto de la Torre, pointed out that the electricity deficit in the Dominican Republic has to do more with politics than with technical issues.
According to Listin Diario, De la Torre said that
everyone knows the problem well and understands its nature
even more than multilateral organizations like the Inter-American
Development Bank and the World Bank.
"Everyone in
the Dominican Republic has a private individual solution to blackouts, when a real
solution needs to be a joint effort," he stated.
On the other hand, former President Leonel Fernandez said Thursday that the numbers
relating to the 2011 deficit represent the investment in the electricity subsidy, in the
recapitalization of the Central Bank, and in the fuel subsidies.
Regarding the fiscal reform proposed by the government, Fernandez said he trusted that the Dominican society will be able to
understand the need that the current government has to increase its
income.

IMF: Crisis CDEEE is a matter for the Government
“SANTO DOMINGO-The result of the policies of the Government for the years 2011 and 2012 to avert the crisis in the electricity sector is "absolute responsibility of the Dominican authorities", according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).”
They sound PISSED at you Saint Danilo!
In other words don’t pass the BUCK/PESO to us PLD!
"Many countries have had this problem and the vast majority resolved it, since no company is sustainable on a service that is a necessity for the whole population," he said.

Last July the President Medina expressed interest in talks for a possible program, in Punta Cana. Medina explained that more than one year had passed since the last visit and was favorable to a visit from the IMF to learn about economic indicators and then start the dialogue".
“On that basis - we agreed to make a first visit, which was one in the last month of September and another that will be in the first weeks of November, then to work on article IV, since it was only the first visit when "we discovered the size of the fiscal deficit".

"He indicated that, if the deficit has widened, it has to be reduced, because one of that magnitude cannot be maintained for much longer, and that's where the tax reform comes in as a way of closing the gap."

Of course it is a government problem. If we weren't so corrupt maybe people wouldn't be able to steal the money and not pay the suppliers. If the suppliers were paid instead of our corrupt government officials robbing the money we would all have 2/47 electricity.
I hate to say it but we need a revolution in this country and rid ourselves of corruption from the top down replacing everyone. Anyone who steps out of line should be executed and all of their family assets seized and put back into the government funds. We all know that is where it came from.

""Everyone in the Dominican Republic has a private individual solution to blackouts, when a real solution needs to be a joint effort," he stated. "
Dominicans would rather spend a fortune on an inverter and batteries, than pay a pittance on their electricity bill. Conserve electricity when on batteries, then waste it as fast as possible when the power is on to "get their money's worth". Never occurs to them that this makes the blackouts longer and more frequent. Entitlement mentality!
