This report analyzes export
competitiveness in the Dominican Republic drawing from the
Trade Competitiveness Diagnostic methodology (Farole and
Reis, 2012). Dominican exports fare well in terms of
performance, sophistication, and survival in Special
Economic Zones. Three main challenges are identified: 1)
quality issues and rejection of agro exports in the US
border; 2) the role of Special Economic Zones in the new
decade and the lack of backward linkages; and 3) excessive
concentration in terms of markets that is not addressed by a
fragmented institutional setup. |
