AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Tourism Boom: The Dominican Republic logged a record 7,700,118 visitors in the first seven months of 2026, up 7% year-on-year, with 5.89M arriving by air and 1.81M via cruise ports—another sign the Abinader-era push is keeping demand strong. Border Security Works: The government broke ground on “Strong Border” projects in the northern frontier, including a new national market at Tilorí, repairs to the Guayajayuco ford, and upgraded border access controls to tighten territorial presence and trade. Social Security Tension: ASONAFISS says it’s in a holding pattern with the CNSS over proposed improvements to social security coverage, while warning it may take affiliate demands to the streets. Police Reform Debate: Retired Major General Valentín Rosado Vicioso urged a “deep and true” police reform, warning against missteps that could weaken rights and procedures. Drugs Crackdown: DNCD seized 303 packages of alleged cocaine hidden in the floor of a container at Caucedo, with an investigation underway to identify the trafficking network. Property Regularization: Vice President Raquel Peña delivered 450 property titles in Guayacanal, Azua, ending years of waiting for 1,800 residents. PRM Politics: PRM leaders traded messages on internal unity and leadership renewal ahead of 2028, as Alfredo Pacheco said he’s prioritizing cohesion over his own ambitions. Power Outage Explanation: CUED’s Celso Marranzini blamed outages on extreme heat and maintenance needs, outlining plans to add or upgrade substations by year-end.
