El Gobierno de República Dominicana implementa un plan de austeridad para contrarrestar el impacto del alza del petróleo
El Gobierno de República Dominicana desplegó una estrategia de acción inmediata y ajuste interno para enfrentar las consecuencias de la inestabilidad en Medio Oriente y el aumento sostenido en el precio del petróleo, con el objetivo de resguardar la estabilidad económica nacional y proteger a las familias más vulnerables.
Esta respuesta, fundamentada tanto en políticas de austeridad como en medidas de apoyo directo a la población, busca sostener el crecimiento y mitigar el impacto de factores externos, según informó la Presidencia de República Dominicana este lunes.
Durante un Consejo de Ministros encabezado por el presidente Luis Abinader y la vicepresidenta Raquel Peña, se estableció un plan específico para reorganizar el gasto público.
La meta central del plan es generar cerca de RD 40,000 millones mediante la posposición de gastos no esenciales, la reducción de costos operativos y la concentración de recursos en prioridades definidas, sin afectar los compromisos previamente asumidos por el Estado, detalló Félix Reyna, director de la Dirección de Estrategia y Comunicación Gubernamental (Diecom).
Entre las medidas implementadas destacan la limitación en la adquisición de vehículos oficiales, la reducción de trabajos de reparación y mantenimiento menores, y la racionalización de servicios y contrataciones públicas.
También se decidió limitar el número y el costo de eventos gubernamentales, ajustar gastos en textiles, vestuarios, viáticos y pasajes, y racionalizar el consumo de combustible y publicidad institucional.
Se incluye la reducción de un 50 % en el presupuesto destinado a los partidos políticos y la disminución verificable en las transferencias corrientes a organismos autónomos, descentralizados y empresas públicas con autogestión de recursos.
Este bloque de medidas tiene como finalidad mantener la estabilidad económica del país en un entorno internacional desfavorable. El esfuerzo de reordenamiento y austeridad busca respetar todos los compromisos asumidos mientras se optimiza cada peso del gasto estatal.
El presidente Luis Abinader entregó 25 vehículos nuevos al Instituto de Estabilización de Precios (Inespre), parte de una flotilla de 60 unidades destinadas a fortalecer la logística de distribución de alimentos. Esta iniciativa permite ampliar y mejorar las bodegas móviles para que los productos de la canasta básica lleguen de forma directa a los barrios, con precios accesibles y sin intermediación que pueda encarecerlos o provocar distorsiones.
Esta estrategia optimiza la relación entre productor y consumidor, lo que facilita una cadena de suministro más eficiente y protege a más familias dominicanas de eventuales alzas en los alimentos, trasladando el beneficio económico directo a los hogares. Según datos de Presidencia de República Dominicana, la medida es central dentro del esquema de acción estatal para garantizar que el incremento de precios internacionales no presione desproporcionadamente los ingresos nacionales.
La combinación del ajuste presupuestario con el refuerzo en la distribución de alimentos básicos evidencia la intención de responder de forma equilibrada a los desafíos externos. Tanto el recorte de gastos innecesarios y privilegios, como el fortalecimiento de programas sociales orientados a la alimentación y al consumo popular, buscan sostener el dinamismo de la economía dominicana y garantizar un piso de equidad en el acceso a bienes esenciales.
El director Félix Reyna indicó en el “Resumen Semanal”: “Esta estrategia doble tiene como misión central salvaguardar la estabilidad y asegurar condiciones más justas para la población, incluso en un contexto internacional adverso”.

«The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
«Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!»

According to Sharif, the deal includes the termination of military operations across the region, including in Lebanon, where Iran-backed terrorist proxy Hezbollah has been engaged in conflict with Israel.
«Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,» he said.
Additional details of the agreement, including any provisions related to Iran’s nuclear program, were not immediately released.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister said talks with the United States on a final and more comprehensive agreement will take place during a 60-day ceasefire period, according to Reuters.
The outlet reported that the future of Iran’s nuclear program will be addressed in upcoming negotiations. Trump has long maintained that Iran cannot be in possession of a nuclear weapon and has repeatedly vowed to prevent Tehran from developing, acquiring or obtaining one.
Trump further praised his administration for securing the agreement.
«This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region,» he said. «Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.»
Sharif also thanked the United States and Iran for their «commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict,» as well as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for their contributions to the mediation effort.
With the agreement now in place, mediators are expected to facilitate a series of meetings this week that could lay the groundwork for technical negotiations and the official signing ceremony, Sharif said.

The peace deal would formally end the high-stakes conflict that began on Feb. 28, which disrupted roughly 20% of global oil shipments that pass through the Strait of Hormuz and contributed to higher energy prices worldwide.
It comes roughly one year after Israel initiated massive strikes on Iran during Operation Rising Lion. The strikes sparked a 12-day conflict between the nations before Trump ordered strikes on a trio of nuclear facilities later that same month.
