Presidential Administrative Secretary Luis Manuel Bonetti says that the government shouldn't sign another agreement with the International Monetary Fund. In his opinion, the DR does not need a "straightjacket" any longer. Bonetti says the DR met all the requirements of the current Stand-by arrangement that ends on 31 January 2008. Quoted in Diario Libre, Bonetti says that the DR should retake its economic sovereignty.
