The local population of Dominica is mainly of African descent, with a small indigenous Carib population and an increasing Middle Eastern, Caucasian, and Chinese population. Dominica is a member of the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, CARICOM, Commonwealth of Nations, as well as the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). The nation has diplomatic missions in Washington DC and New York (USA) as well as Havana (Cuba), London (England), Brussels (Belgium), and Beijing (China). There are also Dominica consulates in Zurich (Switzerland), New Delhi (India), Ottawa (Canada), and Casablanca (Morocco). The country's currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (EC$ or XCD), which is pegged to the American Dollar at the consistent exchange rate of $2.70 XCD to $1.00 USD. Having a stable currency tied directly to the US Dollar eliminates a sizable risk frequently faced by people making foreign investments, and the consistent exchange rate can make planning an exit for a real estate investment on the island much less complicated. Please note: all financial transactions related to the Dominica Economic Citizenship Program are exclusively in US Dollars.
