The Huwer firm is estimating that in the next seven years the DR will create 250,000 new jobs in the area of telecommunications-based services (call centers). The government commissioned report indicates that the DR has the necessary tools to continue attracting a growing number of US as well as European businesses. According to Eddy Martinez, president of the Center for Export and Investment (CEI-RD), this will promote bilingualism in Dominican students and will force schools to implement improved education programs. Martinez said that the job boom would take place in two stages, the first of which would involve the creation of 100,000 jobs.
As reported in Hoy, Martinez says that the situation of the Dominican free zones could improve as Chinese firms pay better wages and invest in environmental controls, which will increase cost of Chinese exports.
