2011年，多米尼加国内各种政治力量围绕次年举行的大选展开了激烈的争夺。修宪、连任、退选、复出与党争，政治斗争中各大元素几乎悉数登场，并将这出政治悬疑大剧的神秘感保留到了下一年。在经济方面，2011年多米尼加经济温和增长，财政赤字占GDP的比重下降，外贸进出口增长速度较快，但贸易逆差在持续扩大，而且国内通货膨胀严重。在社会方面，贫困与失业并未得到缓解，犯罪问题依旧困扰着多米尼加，社会保障还有待继续发育，公共卫生领域也面临着严峻的挑战。在外交领域，2011年多米尼加继续保持活跃，通过大量的双边多边活动，提升了国际影响力。
2011 was the year just before the next presidential election which would take place in 2012. The recognized political developments were the election activities, and almost all key factors emerged in political struggle in 2011, such as the constitutional reform on consecutive reelection limit, the withdrawal from the presidential election and party conflicts. The GDP increased by 4.5%. While the financial deficit decreased, the international trade deficit increased.The inflation was the worst in the past three years. In the social area, the Dominican Republic didn't get an obvious improvement and was still tortured by thorny issues such as poverty and unemployment. Diplomatically it pursued bilateral and multilateral cooperation with more countries, promoting its international status.
