SANTO DOMINGO.- The former vice president of the Dominican Republic, Margarita Cedeño, maintained that the cost of living is unmanageable for the majority of the population of this country.
He considered that this has led in the short term to individual debt and the loss of quality of life for thousands of families.
A SHY ADMINISTRATION
In written statements published by Vanguardia del Pueblo, the PLD newspaper, he estimated that the country’s difficulties in 2023 are due to a timid administration that has not provided an efficient response.
The also member of the Political Committee of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) indicated that this hinders internal growth and macroeconomic stability.
He said that despite showing income in foreign currency from exports of goods and services, remittances and foreign investment with positive numbers, these do not translate into better economic development or citizen well-being.
Hence, he considered that the Government should review its actions, especially regarding public investment, which is the lowest in the last 72 years, on par with the highest debt in the last 45 years.
PROBLEMS IN AGRICULTURE, EDUCATION AND HEALTH
In his analysis he included the point related to agriculture and denounced that the Government sought to increase imports, affecting agricultural producers.
He stressed that, in addition, they are not accompanied by a Ministry that provides them with access to the necessary financing and technical support, nor offers the technicalization opportunities necessary for competitiveness. Health collapses every time with the appearance of new viruses or combinations, he concluded.
