Dominican Republic unveils regional development hubs to boost investment and infrastructure

President Abinader announced a government plan to develop four regional hubs—Manzanillo, Punta Bergantín, Cabo Rojo, and Miches—with major infrastructure projects, including port and energy development, aimed at attracting investment and creating jobs. The initiative signals a state-led push to diversify economic activity beyond the capital, though funding and implementation timelines remain unspecified. This is a policy announcement with potential medium-term economic implications for the Dominican Republic.
