SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — More than 3,000 bright yellow taxis will soon be zipping around the Dominican Republic.

Officials have ordered that cabs be identified by the standard color to regulate the business and ensure passenger safety.

The government has bought a fleet of new yellow Toyota Corollas to be used as taxis in the capital of Santo Domingo and the northern city of Santiago. Several banks and a state institution issued a $129 million loan to buy the cars. They start circulating Wednesday.

Taxi drivers have the option of painting their current cab yellow or buying one of the new ones and receiving a tax break.

The government said Friday it also plans to certify drivers.

Dominican president foresees economic recovery in 2010

HAVANA, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — Dominican Republic’s President Leonel Fernandez said Thursday that 2010 would see the recovery of the country’s economy and urged all sectors to stand up to challenges, local reports said.

Government stimulus measures were necessary for economic sectors to actively participate in the process of recovery to achieve a sustained economic growth, Fernandez said.

The president said the world economic crisis had affected the expenses of private sectors, fiscal incomes and general welfare of the people in the Caribbean country.

Dominican Republic had managed to keep the stability and mitigate the effects on the economic growth and employment, Fernandez said. “But this was not enough to meet the expectations of governors and people regarding the economic development.”

Experts say Dominican Republic has achieved to alleviate the effects of the global crisis and expect the national economy to grow around 3.5 percent, higher than the original estimation.

In November 2009, Dominican Republic signed an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which in 28 months would lend the country 1.7 billion U.S. dollars to cover the tax collection deficit and boost its economy.

Santo Domingo.– The Super Tucano intercept planes recently bought by the Dominican Republic will be operated by the Dominican Air Force on missions involving internal security, border patrol, and combating the drug trafficking.

According to Orlando José Ferreira Neto, Embraer Executive Vice President, “the use of the Super Tucano airplanes by the Dominican Air Force will increase the readiness and solidity of the nation’s defense system, by performing patrol missions with the operational efficiency and precision that are already combat proven.”

“The acquisition of these Super Tucano planes, manufactured by Embraer, one of the world’s most prestigious companies, is one more example of the Government’s unshakeable decision to deal with the nation’s vulnerable areas, in order to protect ourselves from the scourge of the drug traffic,” highlighted the Dominican Armed Forces minister Pedro Rafael Peña.

Santo Domingo.– The increase in bank credit to the private sector helped reactivate the Dominican economy, which will grow this year by around 3.5%, the Central Bank reported.

Due to a strong correlation between the private credit and the GDP growth, the Dominican economy has experienced an important recovery, mainly in 2009’s second quarter, according to the report.

The Central Bank pointed out that the growth has become one of the highest growth rates in Latin America this year and has been progressively larger: 1% in the first quarter, 1.8% in the second quarter, 3.4% in the third, with an overall 2.1% for the first three-quarters.

The entity also said the international reserves will close at record highs, the current account in the balance of payments will have an improvement in its deficit of 4.5% of GSP, lower than the 9.7 of 2008 by 5.2%.

Such achievements, the Central Bank stated, will be reached without risking the goals of keeping inflation in check –the major goal of the monetary policy–, which will help keep the relative stability in the exchange rate for 2010.

Rep. Charles Rangel blamed his failure to pay taxes on his rental income from a Caribbean villa to “cultural and language barriers,” reports the New York Times. “Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” Rangel said of his attempts to sort out his paperwork. The congressman admitted responsibility for his errors and submitted materials for an ethics investigation.

Rangel, a lawyer, is chairman of the House Committee on Ways & Means, which writes tax law, and about half the households in his district speak primarily Spanish. He has also come under fire for maintaining four rent-stabilized Manhattan apartments, one of which serves as his campaign office.
