SANTO DOMINGO. - The Economy Ministry on Monday denied that a delegation of Economic Cabinet officials will travel to Washington, prior to the Dominican Governmen negotiating an agreement t with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In a statement, the Ministry said the Government analyzes the nation’s economic situation and in due course will announce the date on which a delegation of IMF officials will come to the country.
Local media reported that a Dominican government delegation was to visit Washington August 17, for a first meeting with IMF officials, aimed at signing a Stand By agreement.
The government planned to start discussions with the private sector and civil society on Thursday, to iron out a fiscal pact, as stated in the National Development Strategy, but was postponed at the request of the authorities, to analyze with the IMF's economic situation and hear its recommendations first.


Deny ! Deny what ? If there was no pact looming or even a suggestion of a pact, why is the delegation traveling to Washington, to discuss the stamp collecting ??????
There has to be a reason why they are going there and one would expect there is going to be some agreement, let it be a handshake only; over drafts of fiscal matters they will be negotiating in the future.
