The Dominican Republic has a US$690 million trade deficit in spite of increasing its exports. The deficit has increased continually since 1970. In 2005 the Dominican Republic exported US$1.08 billion in traditional, non-traditional and mining exports. If only these exports were calculated, the trade deficit would be US$5.425 billion.

According to Manuel Gonzalez Tejera, free zone exports account for 81% of all Dominican exports.
