Opportunities for the construction of a National and Integrated Development Financing Framework in Costa Rica

Although Costa Rica has experienced stable economic growth in the last two decades, economic and social challenges remain.

The general purpose of the development finance assessment (DFA) is to help the government develop a strategic and integrated vision of financing for development and adopt a long- and medium-term vision to mobilise resources (public and private, domestic and external) to finance development strategies. This DFA provides critical inputs for creating a strategic and integrated financing framework.

The new report maintains the analysis and recommendations of the original DFA in 2018 but has been updated to incorporate recent developments. It provides analysis, options for reforms and measures to improve fiscal space, the effectiveness and efficiency of public spending, the integration of planning and financing systems, and specific guidance for developing a selected set of financing flows.
