the DR debt is like a purple cancer and it will destroy everything in its path.
It is so conservative , and that is why we have such a strong banking sector , unlike Spain which has a low sovereign debt but a huge debt owed by the banks that may send them bankrupt and It is why the goverenment finances are relatively strong , because we have a relatively low sovereign debt to service and to roll over from time to time .
In the meantime we have great progress on many many projects that we have never had before
