The construction sector maintains evident dynamism in Greater Santo Domingo, where licenses for homes and edifications increased 7.5% interanual in the first semester of 2026, informed economist Raúl Hernández during the conference Perspective Macroeconomic 2026 and Projection 2027, organized by Banreservas.
Permit Increase and its Significance
Hernández explained that the growth of permits reflects the increasing importance of construction in the economic activity of the capital, mobilizing investments and generating demand in related sectors. “Construction is becoming increasingly important”, he stated while analyzing the economic performance of the city and the prospects for the next months.
Volume of Licenses by Demarcations
- Distrito Nacional: 155 licenses
- Santiago: 162 licenses
- La Altagracia: 164 licenses
- Duarte: 44 licenses
- Santo Domingo: 222 licenses
The economist pointed out that the dynamism should not be evaluated solely by the number of authorizations, but also by the value of the associated investments, which indicates the magnitude of future activity.
Prospects and Risks
Although the capital remains a determining market for the national economy, Hernández warned that economic prospects should be observed with caution in the face of an international scenario marked by risks. He proposed that construction and private investment will be key pieces to bring the economy closer to its growth potential by the end of 2026 and in 2027.
