The goal of $2,000 million on foreign investment planned for 2017 was exceeded since last September, according to figures published by the Central Bank.
Between January 1st and September 30th, 2017, Costa Rica received $2,165.6 million in foreign direct investment (FDI), a figure that exceeds the goal established by the Ministry of Foreign Trade (Comex) by 8.3%.
Investors continue to deposit in Costa Rica as a competitive and safe destination for their productive projects,”
said Minister of Foreign Trade, Alexander Mora.
Despite this, the accumulated goal for the four-year period from 2015 to 2018, proposed in the National Development Plan, consisted of attracting productive investments to the country for a total of $ 8,200 million. According to the official and updated figures of the Central Bank, only 90.7% of the established goal was achieved until September 30th, 2017.
