Luis Rodolfo Abinader Corona (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis roˈðolfo aβinaˈðeɾ koˈɾona]; born 12 July 1967) is a Dominican economist, businessman, and politician who has served as the 54th president of the Dominican Republic since 2020 and the president-elect of the Dominican Republic in the 2024 elections. He was the Modern Revolutionary Party candidate for President of the Dominican Republic in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 general elections.

Before becoming president, Abinader was the general manager of Grupo Abicor, a business consortium started by his father, José Rafael Abinader, a former senator and finance minister. Grupo Abicor includes a real estate and construction company focused mainly on the tourism industry, a cement factory, and a private university. As revealed by the Pandora Papers, Abinader also owns several offshore companies.[1] Abinader was proclaimed[when?] by Bloomberg Línea as Latin America's richest president.[2]

Abinader was elected for a second term as president in the 2024 Dominican Republic general election. In his victory speech, Abinader said that the "changes that we've made are going to be irreversible", and that the "best is yet to come".[3]
