The Ministry of Hacienda has sent a bill to the Executive Branch, requesting the approval of a BanReservas loan for RD$750 million for city councils that have not made provisions in time. The loan will be used to pay government employees their yearly holiday bonuses. The government announced that as of December 13, Dominican government employees would get their regular salary, plus a second, additional salary.
This injection of additional money into the Dominican economy kicks off the holiday shopping season.
Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa says that so far 187 city councils have already asked for loans to pay the bonuses, and that the Dominican Municipal League has asked for RD$15 million for its own bonuses.
