The president of the National Business Council, Lisandro Macarrulla welcomed the speech and said it was in tune with the demands of Dominican society.
Ricardo Bonetti, spokesman for the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs said that the speech was positive, while pointing out that the country's economic reality of the country is more negative than the situation presented by the President, as reported in Diario Libre.
Manuel Cabrera, of the Association of Industries of Herrera, described the speech as "encouraging."
Adriano Miguel Tejada of Diario Libre called it a "surrealist speech" where in contrast to a state of the nation, a campaign or an inaugural speech, "the President used the crisis as a platform to launch a nirvana of promises that seem to ignore the present state of the government's finances." He observed that in the country the government operates with resources that appear to be beyond the needs, if the wastefulness and corruption were eliminated, but he states that so far no one has been able to come up with the formula for ensuring that a government public works project will cost the same as one built by the private sector.
