The Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR, for its acronyms in English) has adjusted the country\u2019s economic growth projection for 2024 downwards, placing it at 4%. This figure is lower than the 4.3% predicted in October 2023.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The revision is based on more moderate household consumption, due to the deceleration of real disposable income. This indicator is expected to grow by 3.1%, compared to the 4% previously estimated.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This adjustment could have important implications for Costa Rican investors and consumers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For investors, the reduction of the growth could imply lower purchasing power. This is because, with slower real disposable income, people will have less money to spend on goods and services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In addition, the reduction in growth could generate greater economic uncertainty. This could make investors more cautious about investing in Costa Rica, which could affect long-term economic growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
