Matías Wants to Shrink the Dominican State | Dominican Republic News
Santiago Matías is shaking up Dominican politics with a radical plan to slash the government by eliminating dozens of ministries and state institutions — from Youth and Housing to Coffee and Grape Institutes — arguing that smaller, leaner bureaucracy means less debt, lower taxes, and more support for workers and entrepreneurs. But with no clear plan for replacing or absorbing their functions, his bold economic vision leaves big questions about how public services will survive — and whether this overhaul can truly deliver on its promises.

President Luis Abinader is hitting the ground running in the southern Dominican Republic, unveiling an $800 million investment spree across Independencia and Barahona — roads, schools, sports centers, and tech training hubs all aimed at unlocking economic opportunity and connecting communities. From a new bridge in Boca de Cachón to the ribbon-cutting of the Cabral-Polo highway, plus a roof for Leonor Nova School and the launch of a Hotel School Technology Center, this isn’t just infrastructure — it’s a bold plan to transform the region’s future through better access, education, and job readiness.

Dominican Construction Wages Rise | Dominican Republic News
Dominican Republic’s construction sector just got a major pay boost—with a 20% minimum wage hike set to roll out by June 2027, covering everything from unskilled laborers to foremen. Negotiated through a formal tripartite process involving workers, employers, and the government, this move aims to lift incomes without crushing businesses. As construction fuels the nation’s economy and job growth, this wage adjustment signals a broader commitment to aligning worker earnings with economic progress.
