The Dominican Republic's central bank reported that locally issued-card e-commerce transactions grew 19.5% in value and 28.9% in volume from 2023 to 2024.
What this does not establish
Growth does not establish total e-commerce GMV, unique buyers, domestic merchant share, inclusion, profitability or causation.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The metric is limited to card transactions issued locally and may omit wallets, foreign cards, transfers and cash on delivery.
What would change the reading
Update with instrument-complete series, unique users/merchants, domestic/foreign split, fraud and real-value adjustment.
