The Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR) projects economic growth of 3.9% for 2025, close to the historical average of 4.1%. This projection reflects an economy that maintains its post-pandemic dynamism.
Growth Drivers:
- Strengthened domestic demand
- Favorable interest rates
- Sustained employment recovery
- Resilient external sector
Risk Factors:
- U.S. protectionist policies
- Global geopolitical tensions
- National fiscal challenges
Economists point out that while 3.9% represents a healthy rate, Costa Rica should aim for growth above 5% to achieve its medium-term development goals.
