Presentation of the PROEURINVEST program by Joan Tristany and Circe Almanzar, executive vice president of the AIRD. Address on The State of the World: Challenges and Economic Recovery by Lisandro Macarrulla, president of Sans Souci Tourism Investments and ex-president of the CONEP.

Executives and members of leading Dominican business and industry associations will be taking part, including the Dominican Beer Manufacturers Association (Adoface), Dominican Rum Producers Association (Adopron), Herrera Industrial Association (AEIH), Dominican Free Zones Association (Adozona) and the Haina Industries Association.

In a press conference announcing the event, Ligia Bonetti said that local manufacturing exports are up 7.2% in 2010 compared to 2009. "If we subtract petroleum by products, our trade balance with Caricom is positive, which is not the case with Central America or the United States," she said.
