Attraction of Investment
Costa Rica placed
seventh in the
attraction of foreign
investment in 2007 among
the Latin American and
Caribbean nations,
according to a survey by
the Latin American and
Caribbean Economic
Commission.
Theus$1.9 billion that
Costa Rica attracted
last year was surpassed
by Brazil, Mexico,
Chile, Colombia,
Argentina, and Peru, all
of them much larger
economies.
The chairlady of the
Costa Rican Chamber of
Exporters (CADEXCO in
Spanish) pointed out the
good image that the
nation has at the
international level, but
remarked that a large
part of it is due to
campaigns to promote
tourism and some
institutional efforts to
attract investment. She
added that work must
continue to preserve the
arrival of direct
foreign investment. |
