New independent research by Oxford Economics highlights the significant economic impact of DP World's Caucedo Port in the Dominican Republic. The port supported $269 million in the Dominican Republic's economy and nearly 5,000 jobs in 2024. Improved connectivity linked to Caucedo is projected to increase annual goods exports by up to $2.4 billion by 2035. This momentum is further supported by DP World's recent $760 million agreement with the Government of the Dominican Republic to expand Caucedo's port capacity and Free Trade Zone, which is expected to attract up to $3.9 billion in foreign direct investment and drive $4 billion in manufacturing output, positioning the Dominican Republic as a leading nearshoring and trade hub for the Americas.
