Regional Economic Comparison

John Bowler, Regional Director for the Economist, put together this brief comparative study of several Latin American countries, including the Dominican Republic, that gives you a good perspective of how things have been progressing in the region over the last 5-7 years. As I mentioned yesterday, things are looking up economically for the DR with per capita income climbing faster than any of the comparison group, including Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. On the other hand, it appears that inflation which was somewhat level in the DR has seen dramatic climbs over the past two years, more than any other country in the group.
