SANTO DOMINGO. - World Bank International Trade Department director Mona Haddad urged the country to diversify its markets to be competitive and rise in the values chain.
The expert spoke on the topic "Managing trade opening" in a video-conference with government officials and local private sector representatives, under the auspices of the Industry and Commerce, and Economy ministries, and World Bank technicians, from their Washington offices.
In the activity, World Bank senior economist Maurizio Bussolo, addressing the "DR-CAFTA (free trade agreement with the United States) and the extensive margin: an analysis concerning business," said Dominican Republic needs a different integration and to sponsor more Free Agreements Trade (TLC), noting that they are an incentive to spur foreign investment.
Bussolo, responding to questions, said the DR-CAFTA has been beneficial for the country and represents a good starting point to be used as experience in future negotiations.
Hassad agreed that the country needs new markets because "we have a neighbor who is growing like Brazil" and stressed that Dominican Republic’s solid macroeconomic foundation is an important factor for trade opening.
As to agriculture, she noted that liberalization benefits producers and lowers the price for consumers.

As the saying goes: "don't put all your eggs in one basket", It jeopardizes personal and/or national security. So, in order to maintain wealth, one must create multiple income streams. When one dries, the others flow profusely.
This is why one needs to maintain several relationships. When one refuses to give it, there'll be others ready and available, thus maintaining sexual security.

The country has so much to offer besides all inclusive resorts- export your agricultural products and in US - if Miller Beer is not pushing Presidente then find another partner- I think that beer could really be as big as Corona if marketed properly - especially Presidente Lite and in my opinion they have the best orange juice I have ever had and the variety of fish and the prices are outstanding - But most importantly EDUCATE your people- uneducated people have to depend on others and that leads to no life - get educated- create and sell - that what makes life better
Amen!
