The Central Bank explained about the recent exchange rate movements that there are no macroeconomic elements to explain this greater volatility, beyond the seasonal effect of the month of September for the purchase of inventories before the end-of-year sales, since the activities generating foreign currency have maintained their dynamism, projecting foreign currency income of more than US$46,160 million dollars for the end of this year.
In that sense, foreign direct investment (FDI) is expected to reach US$4.86 billion in 2025, comfortably covering the current account deficit projected for the year.
He pointed out that, as a reference, in the 2025 General State Budget, a projection of the average exchange rate for the entire year of RD$63.11 per US dollar was used. Having elapsed the first eight months of the year, the average observed exchange rate was around RD$61.20, so it would be within the budgetary forecasts for the rest of the year 2025.
