Money

If the American dollar weakens?  against the peso?  Not likely, however, it doesn't hurt to have a peso and a dollar account.  Then you can transfer from one account to the other.  Keep in mind the transfer rate as it is not the same as what you can get at the cambios.  The American dollar is not likely to go down anytime soon, naturally, that is only my opinion.

The peso seems to lose value very slowly against the dollar, and rarely rises. When it does, it is by an even smaller amount.  The dollar, like all currencies, has a small inflation rate of around 2% annually, and the Dominican peso has a slightly higher inflation rate.

There might be an occasional advantage to have some money in pesos.

If there were not a small inflation rate, then economies would have booms and busts, which would be far worse. Absolutely stable money seems to be impossible, as there are always speculators.

The dollar weaken against the peso....not going to happen.  However if living here it may be beneficial to keep a small pesos account as well.  We keep both with 90% dollars and 10% or so in pesos.
