The National Business Council (CONEP) says that the speech by President Leonel Fernandez did not give any indications that changes would be made to the economic model that would provide answers to the country's structural issues. According to Diario Libre, CONEP president Manuel Diez Cabral said that society expected actions and directions aimed at long-term solutions, in which the country's macroeconomic stability is used to re-invent the economic model and strengthen institutionalism with compliance for the laws and the Constitution.

In his assessment of the President's speech, Diez said that it did not reflect the framework of action towards a change in the model that takes as the essence the export of goods and services, focusing on the productive sectors and on the stimulus of formal jobs that are what will create real progress and strengthening of the country's productive base. He stressed the need to make economical stability sustainable over time, and that economic growth should be felt by the population, as well as how to correct the structural weaknesses of the economy that help the country's competitiveness and its productive apparatus. On the issue of education, he said that it is a vital problem for the country's development and therefore what was expected was that President Fernandez would make concrete commitments that would produce an improvement in the quality of education.
