2016年,现任总统梅迪纳代表解放党参加大选并轻松获胜,原有多项经济、社会改革有望延续下去。传统对手革命党与解放党结成联盟,但解放党长期盟友基督教社会改革党却转而支持由革命党分裂出来的现代革命党,多米尼加由两党争雄转入两大联盟对峙时代。经济方面,预计2016年GDP增长6。4%,财政赤字占GDP的比重为2。7%,通货膨胀率继续低于政府目标下限,同时汇率将保持稳定。社会方面,就业继续向好,持续的教育与反贫困投入取得一定的成果,公众日益重视腐败问题。外交方面,2016年多米尼加及时援助遭受飓风灾害的海地,持续一年的禁售风波开始平息,新外交部部长也展开了卓有成效的工作。
<<President Danilo as the candidate of PLD won his second term in May 2016. PLD allied with PRD,who used to be the conventional opponent. The offshoot party divided from PRD,named Modern Revolution Party,formed opposition alliance with PSRC,the major member in PLD’s traditional governing coalition. Mr.Medina pursued an ambitious social agenda in his second term,including security reform,policies on immigrants,education reform,poverty reduction and job creation. In the economy aspect,GDP was estimated to increase by 6.4%,and the percentage of overall deficit in GDP was estimated to be 2.7%. In the social aspect,job creation and anti-crime were the most important issues,while corruption remained to be a concerned problem. The most impressed diplomatic affair was the relationship with Haiti due to illegal immigration.
