Oil & Gas Deal: The Dominican Republic and Guyana signed an agreement to jointly explore and potentially develop oil and natural gas tied to Guyana’s Berbice Block, with Refinería Dominicana de Petróleo (Refidomsa) set to represent the DR and receive a 10% stake without upfront capital—aimed at boosting long-term energy security. Foreign Investment: Spain overtook the U.S. as the DR’s top foreign investor in 2025, putting Spanish capital ahead for the first time as the country logged a fourth straight FDI record year. Aviation Connectivity: The Senate approved a Greece air services deal, opening the door to expanded passenger and cargo routes. Public Assets: Incabide held the DR’s first public asset-forfeiture auction, raising RD$562.8 million from 100 sold assets. Justice Watch: The Attorney General ordered an investigation into the killing of Esmeralda Moronta, after prosecutors’ handling of gender-violence protocols came under scrutiny. Health & Travel: Cruise “stomach bug” outbreaks are rising globally, with norovirus driving more incidents—an ongoing risk for tourism operators. Entertainment: “Survivor Greece” was suspended after a contestant suffered a serious leg injury in the DR.
