Computer giant Hewlett-Packard wants to operate in the DR but says that the infrastructure and energy problems are obstacles against investment in the country, according to a report in Listin Diario. HP business in the DR is over US$100 million per year, and had a 100% growth rate last year, one of the highest rates in the region. This has made the DR an interesting prospect for becoming a distribution point for HP in the region. At present the DR is one of HP's most important markets in the region after Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Panama. Martin Castillo, GM and HP's Technology Solutions Group director, says that infrastructure and energy are key issues in seeing that project through. Castillo says that he has spoken with President Leonel Fernandez on many occasions about the project and about solving the DR's energy problem and that the President has expressed an interest in fixing the issues at hand.
