About Costa Rica
The Republic of Costa Rica is located in Central America. It borders Nicaragua to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Panama to the southeast and the Pacific Ocean to the west and is home to some 5 million inhabitants. Its capital, political and economic centre is San José, and its official language is Spanish. With a solid and long-lived democracy, Costa Rica is one of the most stable countries in the Americas, obtaining generally favourable results in all development and competitiveness indices.
According to the World Bank, Costa Rica is, in many ways, a success story in terms of development. It is considered an upper middle-income country, which has shown a steady economic growth over the past 25 years. This growth came about thanks to outward-oriented strategy, based on the openness to foreign investment and gradual trade liberalisation, its active and well-developed Free Zones offering attractive opportunities for foreign investors.
Although the country is small and covers only 0.03% of the planet's surface, it has the privilege of being the habitat of 5% of the world's existing biodiversity. One of its main sources of income is tourism.
