COSTA RICA ECONOMY:

Living in Costa Rica takes a spirit of adventure, a good sense of humor and lots of patience. Most people see themselves lying all day in a hammock by the sea plucking bananas off the trees and going for frequent dips in the crystal clear waters. While all that is highly attainable it is not what your days will solely consist off. Red tape is a big part of life in Costa Rica. After all, it boasts a 94% literacy rate, has friendly people, an exquisite nature and a warm welcome.

Costa Rica's economy is 65.1 percent free, according to our 2007 assessment, which makes it the world's 51st freest economy. Its overall score is 2.3 percentage points lower than last year, partially reflecting new methodological detail. Costa Rica is ranked 12th out of 29 countries in the Americas, and its overall score is higher than the regional average. Costa Rica receives high scores in fiscal freedom and freedom from government. It has moderate personal and corporate tax rates, and tax revenue is fairly low as a percentage of GDP. Similarly, government expenditures are reasonable, and state-owned businesses are not a significant source of revenue. Costa Rica also receives moderate scores in other factors, such as trade freedom, where it boasts a low average tariff rate.

Although there are no glaring absences of freedom in the economy, Costa Rica could improve its monetary freedom, financial freedom, and property rights. Also, it takes far longer than the global average to start a business, and bankruptcy procedures are difficult. State-owned banks dominate the financial sector, over which there is significant government control. The court system, while transparent and not corrupt, is extremely time-consuming and complicated.
