The Costa Rica-North American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) and the Chamber of Industries (CICR) analyzed the government’s proposals during the political campaign in areas that have a direct impact in the productive sector and published today their “Compliance Observatory”.

The study monitors the compliance of the proposals presented during the political campaign and the institutional work expressed in Carlos Alvarado’s Government Plan, the Alvarado-Piza Agreement, the National Agreement for the Bicentennial and the Agreement between political parties: PAC-PUSC-FA.

“Following up in the different areas during the first 100 days of the Alvarado Quesada Administration it was confirmed that46% of the proposals are in process”, states the press release.

The work carried out by both Chambers included: Foreign Commerce, Comprehensive Education, Employment and Growth, Energy and Decarbonization, Economic and Fiscal Stability, Infrastructure, Simplification of processes, Telecommunications and Free Trade Zones.

“As part of the analysis done, it is considered that areas such as Free Trade Zones and Foreign Commerce stand out in the results since the majority of the projects are in process; while Employment and Infrastructure demand more attention in their implementation since these areas have been delayed for over 10 years”. *See Graphic

This initiative is born as part of the support that the business sector gives the Government to monitor and drive the performance of the Public Administration and consequently strengthen the country’s competitivity, promoting a better environment for the development of the economy and prosperity of Costa Ricans.

“For us at AmCham, it is crucial that this observatory is seen as a parameter to measure the efficiency of the Public Administration, with the objective of surpassing themselves and promoting execution in compliance with the premises set out by President Alvarado of looking for results in projects that have a true positive impact on the country”, stated Elias Soley, President of AmCham.
