Dominican Republic's foreign reserves stood at $15.8B in 2025, a rise of +$2.3B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $15.8B by 2025. Dominican Republic ranked 67th globally.
Dominican Republic’s foreign exchange reserves have risen dramatically from a modest 25,973,200.00 in 1960 to an all‑time high of 15,804,569,317.99 in 2025, placing the country 67th globally. The early 1960s marked a low point, with reserves falling to 9,022,900.00 in 1961, after which a sustained accumulation trajectory emerged, reflecting prudent macro‑policy, remittance inflows and tourism earnings. Over the 66‑year coverage period, the stock of reserves grew by more than 600‑fold, outpacing many regional peers; for example, Costa Rica held 16,080,207,997.14 and Azerbaijan 15,362,305,446.22 at the same reference date. This expansion has bolstered the nation’s external liquidity, reduced vulnerability to external shocks and supported a stable exchange rate regime. Continued diversification of export markets and the maintenance of sound fiscal discipline will be essential to preserve the upward trend, while any abrupt reversal in capital flows could alter the trajectory.
