CABEI promotes strategic project to transform the Municipality and Port of Haina
The initiative will benefit more than 43,000 community members and will boost the country's commercial activity.
Santo Domingo, March 24, 2025 – The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and the Dominican Port Authority (APORDOM) met today with the objective of advancing the Integral Development Project of the Port of Haina. This initiative has an investment of US$100 million, which will implement an integral infrastructure system to mitigate flooding in the western bulk cargo dock of the Port of Haina and improve the logistical connection with Sánchez Highway, Refinería Avenue, and adjacent areas.
The project's feasibility studies were carried out through a technical cooperation granted by the Bank in 2021. The implementation of this infrastructure system seeks to optimize port efficiency, strengthen connectivity with national roads and revitalize the urban environment, benefiting more than 43,000 community members.
The municipality of Bajos de Haina, where the port is located, is recognized as the first Industrial District of the Dominican Republic due to its impact on the national economy, so this project will consolidate it as a key industrial and logistics center in the country. Currently, it is home to 16 free trade zones with more than 200 industries, which export products to more than 40 countries, generating employment and strengthening the country's foreign commerce.
The Port of Haina Integral Development Project reaffirms CABEI's commitment to the development of strategic infrastructure in the region, promoting the economic growth and competitiveness of the Dominican Republic.
