The Central Bank of Costa Rica at the end of last week published the Monthly Index of Economic Activities (IMAE) as of February 2024, which shows a growth trend of 3.6% in year-on-year terms.
The special regime recorded an increase of 6.0% and the definitive regime had a positive variation of 3.3%, which is 1.4% higher than the same period last year.
About 50% of the dynamism of the final regime is determined by professional services (18.4%), trade (17.9%) and transportation and warehousing (13.8%). In contrast, construction and public administration services reduced production for the month under review.
