*The Dominican Republic’s central bank (BCRD) has released new figures which show that monthly inflation in May was 0.31%, down from 0.49% in April. In annual terms, inflation in May was 5.35%, up from 5.11% the previous month, which exceeds the target range of 4.0% +/- 1.0%. According to the BCRD, monthly inflation slowed due to the fall in prices of items in the basic food basket such as chicken (-6.60%) and plantains (-3.89%) which partially offset rises in regular gasoline (+3.87%) and premium gasoline (+5.17%).
