Dominican Republic Returns to the Market with a Dollar Bond Issue

Bloomberg Línea, February 10, 2026

The Dominican Republic returned to international markets with a two-tranche dollar bond issue, with 8- and 12.25-year maturities, led by Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase. Initial price talk pointed to yields of around 6.1% and 6.5%, levels that reflect international investors' confidence in the country's ability to pay.

The issue continued the activity of 2025, when the country placed US$4.6 billion in dollar bonds and 225 billion pesos (about US$3.6 billion) in local-currency instruments. According to the article, Moody's rates the country Ba2, two notches below investment grade, S&P holds a similar position and Fitch places it one notch lower.

President Abinader aims to reach investment grade before the end of his term, and Finance Minister Magín Díaz projects growth of between 4.5% and 5% for the year. The country's ability to place long-term debt with sustained international demand reflects institutional stability, a relevant factor for any property investment.
