Beach clean up day

Non-governmental environmental campaigning organization Vida Azul is once more coordinating the International Coastal Clean-up Day in the Dominican Republic. The event is co-sponsored by Ocean Conservancy, an international NGO, as a local action that makes an important contribution to global change. All year long, organizations and individuals across the globe take part in Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup to remove trash and debris from the world's beaches and waterways, identify the sources of that debris, and change the behaviors that allow it to reach the ocean in the first place.

The event has become the world's largest volunteer effort for ocean health, with an estimated nine million volunteers from 152 countries and locations have participated.

Over the past 25 years the volunteers have cleaned over 145 million pounds of pounds of trash from the shores of lakes, rivers, streams, sea and ocean the world over on just one day each year. 

The Dominican Republic has some of the best beaches in the world and the north coast is a perfect place to enjoy them, with a pleasant mix of Dominican people and international residents.  If you are considering purchasing Dominican Republic property, please contact us and we will be happy to share our 25 years of experience with you.

Last, but by no means least, we have an absolutely fabulous villa in a beachside community.  This gorgeous property has been reduced within days of going on the market, not because it was initially overpriced, but because the owner wanted to play fair and believes that as soon as this house is viewed, you will recognize its worth.  So, this lovely home is now down to $485,000 from $525,000.  As if that wasn’t enough, the property also boasts ample land to build another property by its side, so you could recoup part of your investment by sub-dividing.

Interest Rate on Bonds explained by Bankers

With harsh comments about the "real" interest rates on the sovereign bonds recently placed on the world market, two bankers explain how the figures were reached.

Diario Libre said that two executives of Barclays and J.P. Morgan who negotiated the US$500 million in sovereign bonds that were recently issued by the Dominican Republic on the international market, stressed the receptivity that they received among the foreign investors. Gustavo Ferrero, an executive at Barclays and Roberto D'Avora from J.P. Morgan, said that the reason for the receptivity is that the Dominican Republic offers very interesting credit conditions for investors. They said that the bonds were placed on the market at 6.75% a year, the lowest interest rate for the country on the international market since the first bonds were issued in September 2001.

They said that the bond existed and had a 7.5% coupon, but the placement that the Dominican Republic carried out among investors was successful, with a premium value of more than 100% of face value. "The bonds were sold at US$103.545, and when the yield of these is calculated, with the 7.5% coupon, it implies an implicit rate of 6.95%," they said. They added that the premium was US$17.7 million above the nominal US$500 million, which means a percentage of 3.545%. Moreover they obtained US$8.5 million in accrued interest.

Meanwhile, a Central Bank statement cleared up the fact that the excess demand for the bonds "caused the placement cost to increase over par value, or price of emission, reducing the net financial costs for the country to 6.95%, below the coupon rate of 7.5%." According to the Central Bank, this means that the investors voluntarily paid a premium or additional sum of US$17,500,000, which the country received at the moment of placement, which made it possible that the net effective interest rate would be 6.95% and not 7.5%.

Parque Mirador provides a new oasis in Sosua

In what was a fairly unattractive car park, new life has been breathed into Sosua.  A new park overlooking the ocean on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, named Parque Mirador, Sosua, was inaugarated on Friday at the end of the 'street with no exit' (Calle sin salida), where the well known Waterfront Restaurant is located.   The opening ceremony was performed by Ilana Neumann, the Mayor of Sosúa, and was attended by representatives of the Jewish community, the founders of this beach town, in whose honour the park has been built. The beautiful park features a bar, restaurant, a Star of David at the centre and several seats.From these seats you have a beautiful view over Sosua bay.

Close to the park, you can find a synagogue and small but very interesting museum charting the history of the Jewish Settlers who were given refuge in Sosua following World War II.  The West Indies Real Estate Office is also close by in Calle David Stern.
