Sommario/riassunto

This paper examines the financial position of the key sectors of the Dominican Republic. It  contributes to macroeconomic surveillance by identifying financial interlinkages and  vulnerabilities through the balance sheet approach. The balance sheet of the economy has  been weakening, particularly in foreign currency, due to persistent fiscal deficits. Risks  arising from weaker foreign currency position, however, seem to be mitigated by long-term  maturities on government debt and increasing accumulation of foreign currency assets. Given  the strong links of the rest of the economy with the public sector, network analysis suggests  that while the financial position of the other sectors of the economy is stronger, they could be  adversely affected in an external stress scenario. Exposures to public sector are particularly  pronounced in the domestic financial system (directly) and households (indirectly, through  pension funds).
