Welcome back to the Latin Wealth Podcast and this edition of Wealth Wednesday. In this episode, host Jeremiah Ramirez dives deep into the Dominican Republic’s rapid economic growth and the debate behind what’s fueling it.
With a GDP growth of 5.1% in 2024 and strong performance already in 2025, the Dominican Republic is drawing attention from global investors and entrepreneurs. From booming tourism and foreign direct investment to real estate, mining, and tax-free business zones — is this growth the result of smart strategy and hard work, or something else entirely?
We explore:
- Why the DR is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America
- The real impact of tourism, foreign investment, and manufacturing
- Whether claims of narco-trafficking and money laundering are fact or fiction
- Why the Dominican Republic may be the top spot for foreign investment in the Caribbean
Plus: A special shoutout to the DR’s independence, resilience, and strategic advantage over neighboring countries. Is it time to rethink your next investment
