Inflation Falls in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Central Bank has reported the inflation rate during the first five months of the ongoing year went down to 0.77 percent, a drastic drop from the elevated numbers of 2004.

During the same five month spam in 2004, inflation had reached 28.53 percent, finishing the year at 28.73 percent. The Central Bank reports the country is well on the road to finish the year with single-digit inflation.
