The base upon which our entire project rests is the physical location of the Dominican Republic and its continuing political and economic stability. Extensive research, including conversations across a spectrum of senior market leaders has indicated that the country is ideally placed at the geographical pivot of the Americas, providing a meeting point between the emerging markets in our region and the rest of the world.
The rigorous assessment of our market and its participants identified huge, unserved gaps: a unified regional trading, settlement, clearing and custody facility; integrated banking, registration and investment services; a successful regulatory framework combining probity with flexibility to encourage the free conduct of fair business.
In addition, we have explored the value of ensuring that we connect with the people who will work at and for the Centre. This means that what we offer will help to create a sense of possibility for personal and social growth away from the workplace. |
