Yes...

The thing is that they're done on a per-request basis, where you request the data you need exported and the firm would collect such info from strong/verifiable resources at their disposal; for a fee, or course.

You can get some data yourself by mining the Central Bank's financial quarterly disclosures (all published in the local news by law). I don't recommend you do this yourself, but in fact hire a financial consultant of the banking industry in the DR.

Expect to pay a 15% to 25% higher fee for such reports in the DR than compared to the same services in the US/EU markets correspondingly.

Investment houses in the DR are required to file quarterly financial status reports to the securities arm of the Central Bank as required by law. Still a good 35% falls out of the low to mid range regulated by such financial requirements.

Last report we requested on a plethora of indicators in the DR was done via a US firm with a presence in the DR's financial markets.
We paid hefty as the data required was also extended to micro loaning for profits in the DR.

Hope this helps!
