Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Costa Rica
Description
We’ve raised our Costa Rica GDP growth forecast by 0.5ppts to 3.5%, following a stronger-than-expected Q2, driven by exports of medical equipment goods. High-frequency data suggest export momentum will likely continue in Q3. For next year, we envisage 2.4% growth, as weaker services exports – due to softer tourism and a decline in electronics components-related services – and subdued external demand will partially offset solid domestic activity. We see risks slightly tilted to the upside, supported by strength in the free trade zones.
