The presence of branch offices of some of the nation's most important banks, plus the opening of savings and loan offices in DajabUn Province, are key factors in the economic revival of the border province. Much of this activity is due to the bi-national market that is celebrated in the city twice a week. Clients from Haiti cross the border to sell their wares and purchase staples and other items at the market. According to the provincial governor Arturo SocIas, each Monday and Friday approximately RD$25 million pesos are transacted at the fair. Another factor in the revival of the province is the presence of the Office of the Controller of European Development Funds that supervises different projects in the province. The governor also pointed out that the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) and the UTESA, have both installed branches in the city.
