Pension Reform: A bill in the Lower House proposes gradually cutting the maximum pension-fund management fee from 0.90% to 0.40% by 2036, while raising pensions and tightening transparency rules. Household Costs: President Luis Abinader’s government says electricity rates will remain at current levels, backed by subsidies, as global energy costs rise. Regional Relations: Concacaf moved a Caribbean Cup semifinal to Jamaica after the Dominican government barred Haitian teams from playing in the country’s stadiums. Child Welfare: A UNICEF study found that 54.9% of Dominican children ages 1–14 have experienced violent discipline, despite only 12.1% of caregivers saying physical punishment is necessary.
