Inter-American Development Bank (Costa Rica)

The country strategy with Costa Rica for 2019-2022 will support the policies of the Government of Costa Rica, as reflected in its Bicentennial National Development and Public Investment Plan (2019-2022), to create inclusive, sustainable, and environmentally friendly economic growth through four strategic pillars: (i) strengthening of public finance, which is the central pillar of this strategy due to its critical importance for the sustainability of growth and the wellbeing of the population, undergirding all advances on the other three pillars; (ii) development of quality and resilient infrastructure; (iii) productivity gains and narrowing of production gaps; and (iv) human capital accumulation for inclusiveness and competitiveness. The government’s commitment to the health and stability of public finance and the goals of the National Decarbonization Plan 2018-2050 will be key elements in deepening the Bank’s actions under the pillars of this country strategy.
