Santiago de los Caballeros maintains one of the largest public investment portfolios in the country. According to data from the General Budget Directorate (Digepres), the province accumulates RD$4,730.9 million in investment projects at the close of July 2026.

One project that concentrates resources

One figure stands out: a single road project recorded in two budget lines concentrates RD$1,677.3 million, equivalent to 35.5% of the investment budget allocated to the province. The information was released through Digepres’ data platform.

Why it matters

Concentrating resources in large infrastructure projects drives construction, employment and economic activity in the northern region, but it also underscores the importance of monitoring budget execution to ensure investment reaches the territories.
