#177 NO ECONOMY IS IDENTICAL TO ANOTHER

Neglect the identity of the Dominican Republic to the limit. Output is not chauvinism, but fully conscious of our responsibilities. We undertake disquisitions of foreign experiences, but they are simply spaces for reflection, familiarization exercises generic aspects of any economy. From this proviso affirm that the Dominican Republic holds its own identity. I do not mean folk aspects, well known and discussed ad nauseam. We aim to economic resources available to the country, in many cases poorly developed enormous potential.

There is the principle in marketing that says unequivocally that the production criteria are determined by the market. Big mistake. The production is the direct reaction to the economic possibilities available to the island, like it or not like. The business sense is set by the production that remains is to locate the market and "ways"-introductions with higher penetration opportunities. In this regard, we must be broad and creative with the markets and tastes.

We need to discover our identity cries economic, that is the starting point for interacting with the outside world. The most illustrative example for the ostensible big commercial hit in Japan in the American market. U.S. complains about the imbalance in the trade balance with Japan. Exports Japan in Yankee territory are much higher. The Japanese claim that Americans do not know on their markets. Economic identity Things have not been able to grasp clearly the son of Uncle Sam.

#174 REMITTANCES, EXPORT OF FEELINGS

Dominican ethnicity is fraught with melancholy, sadness deep soil, irradiated by the neglect of the pseudo-statesmen of the local court.

The industry is located mainly yawl in the rural sector, "where the country still hurts." As the most penalized in the first instance suffers crackdown, and then burdened with the tax band, compressed up to the aesthetics of the formal economy.

To lower or raise the consignment is simple statistics. The chances of transmission of currency from the diaspora of the sentiment aroused the nation. The actual measurement is located in the state of feeling the Dominican absent.

The mood in question, does vary with the change of location of origin? It seems so, but then fixed. The per-capita remittance of the island is $ 288, unlike the big nations like Brazil which boasts the second most Latin American currencies shipping, with a per-capita of $ 39, only exposes the seventh of the real potential of the Dominican Republic.
We do not have the traffic of employment regulation, much less economic policies in that line, not as before, full of filters and privileges, an informal intermediary trade ensnared in the tangle of politicuchos interested low-class.
There are ways, I do not doubt, predictable patterns free passage of the yawl, eloquent symbol of foreign production by Dominicans without ostentation, without those vaunted Ph.Ds, brain drain, not only simple and primary force working that urgent demand of developed nations.

#173 EXPORT MODEL

Some are directly, the best known, is used for primary products, agricultural goods, that is the common experience. Still, it is the only viable export model, available, and borders on the employer's own creativity. Important point in the export business scenario is for the full knowledge of the market structure where exportable are addressed. This knowledge-do-except virtual character is not physical but it is not statistical in nature, is an experiential knowledge, the actual encounter between the employer-producer to the consumer and their context, sink into the atmosphere and idiosyncrasies of consumer imported goods. This is, of course, nothing new, nor thinks that we are discovering the curvature of the egg or the hardness of the stone. However, it is valid underpin it, amid the flurry of global information in which we live submitted through the web. In assessing the location, the Dominican Republic has advantages over other countries. The ability-if you want to be more technical-range of movement to other parts of the globe, the distinct advantage of insularity. In this regard I refer to directly export a range of consumer goods is enormous. Allows certain attachment levels of value added manufactured character, without the absorption of advanced technologies. We must not lose sight of the northern export, foreign exchange requirements that require the Dominican economy, as every civilized country in the world. For now you might be considering replacement-route-export of about twelve billion dollars, equivalent to the sum of external debt, remittances, and sovereign bonds issued to date.

#172 WHAT IS EXPORT?

The export action is not about export courses. The export was directly linked to the markets, with the systematic search for consumers outside of our geographic spread. From then evaluated the possibilities of production and strategies best suited to carry them out. The most important objection is not to export technology, no sir, we know enough to exporting countries. The model is simple, yet requires the approach of different paradigms, and especially the deployment of the collective effort of the economic model in question. Examples abound, and the best lessons are in nations of different sizes, some such as Taiwan, have no natural wealth, but the most important asset, people. Dominicans can be in the medium term, developing a nation of inestimable exporter. Both the markets and the potential there, but not available, this is the greatest challenge which must be overcome avocado. Export has nothing to do with agreements such as NAFTA. The free trade agreement itself does not influence the development of export. Here are the examples. For some time we have been arguing that we do not have the profile of the employer to develop an economic model exporter. With few exceptions, our entrepreneurs are essentially importers, and those who do not are not interested in manufacturing for foreign markets, convinced that the local market is more than enough to claim their business. What these entrepreneurs are unaware of is that the export is much more than the decision to sell; it involves other aspects of a great significance for the future of the Dominican people. For example the quality of life, another field development, east, urban infrastructure, the result of a different economic context, breathed more financial resources, especially foreign exchange, greater numbers of people to consume, in short, a largest economy in the same size of the island.
