Santo Domingo, October 3rd.- The American Chamber of Commerce of the Dominican Republic (AMCHAMDR), together with its energy committee, held a business breakfast with mining sector specialists to analyze its central topic, "Challenges in capital investment for the export of natural resources from the Dominican Republic." In this regard, the president of AMCHAMDR, David Fernández, urged the Dominican State to work together with investors in the sector to strengthen the climate of trust and thus create a collaborative framework for continuous improvements between the legislative and executive branches, municipalities, and the

Mining companies. “It is impossible to underestimate the importance of the mining sector to the Dominican economy. According to data from the Central Bank as of February of this year, since 2010 it has become one of the largest generators of foreign currency through exports,” Fernández stated, citing the financial institution. He added that “today we enjoy opportunities where we are progressively breaking down barriers in pursuit of responsible and sustainable mining for national development and the well-being of its citizens.”

The business breakfast featured Shauna Hemingway, Canadian ambassador to the Dominican Republic, accompanied by the ministers of Energy and Mines and Environment and Natural Resources, Antonio Isa Conde and Ángel Estevez; Juana Barceló, president of Barrick Pueblo Viejo; Senator Félix Nova, president of the Permanent Commission on Natural Resources and Environment of the Senate of the Republic; and Pedro Esteva, president of the Mining and Petroleum Chamber of the Dominican Republic (CAMIPE). The panel was moderated by Rafael Velazco, president of the AMCHAMDR energy committee and president of the regulatory energy consulting firm Raveza.

 

For his part, Minister Isa Conde emphasized the need for the mining industry to operate "under a vision of responsible and sustainable development," referring to environmental, social, and economic aspects, ensuring that part of the profits received are allocated to public investments "aimed at building human, technological, and infrastructure capabilities."
