According to Moody's, these actions have reduced the debt-to-GDP ratio and lowered the cost of financing, even in a challenging international context.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Finance, Rudolf L\u00fccke Bola\u00f1os, emphasized that this improvement is an endorsement of Costa Rica's fiscal discipline, but also a reminder that work must continue to consolidate the sustainability of public finances.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he stressed the importance of diversifying external financing sources and asked the Legislative Assembly to move forward with the approval of Eurobonds, in order to guarantee long-term economic stability for the country.<\/p>\n<p>This is a news service prepared by ICS.
