Santo Domingo.- Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo on Wednesday said once implemented, the unified window will cut the time  investors spend in processes to develop projects, with a platform through which they can simultaneously request all permits and documents required when investing.

He said this will reassure businesspersons, noting that the one-stop mechanism will likely be operating before month end.

"This would streamline procedures and facilitate investment and thus job creation in the country," Castillo said after a meeting with president Danilo Medina and several government officials.

Sure this will work, it will be a one stop payment for bribes and then you get your permits.
Instead of having 20 people little bang on your door , you will have one big bang for one payment of prpoina to expedite your permit.

Even IF this were so, IT STILL would be a shortening of the time needed to do things in DR.

I beleive that Domicans like Atabey need a reality check.
On one hand its ok to bribe because it will speed up the system on the other hand you will continue to eat shitty salami without worries.
What a bunch of morons Domincans are.

Even IF, I say "IF it were so." No one knows IF this will indeed BE THE CASE!


But in terms of time, better to have a single window to address your investment concerns than multiple mini windows, each pulling for their individual take. DR is low on the competitive scale due to its many-layered, anti-business, structure. This single shop scheme is better.

stop whining............

Hey guys don't you have anything better to do than to just criticize the government for any good measure that they are trying to do to make things easier for people like me an independent businessman that sees these types of announcement as a step forward in the right direction. For ones in your miserable lifes stopthe complaints and say something good about this new president that just in 2.5 months has shown that he has his head above his sholders and not his ass up his noses. Thank you and this message is only for the crying babes.
