International reserves in foreign currency are an instrument of the Central Bank that serves to, among other things, stabilize the exchange rate, finance the balance of payments, and as a backup in times of crisis.
This reduction in international reserves occurs during times of instability and rises in the price of the dollar.
In September, the dollar reached its highest price against the Dominican peso, selling at RD$64.13, which caused concern among economic sectors, but then fell to RD$61.60.
