Costa Rica’s economy is increasingly reliant on attracting foreign investment, particularly in sectors like technology and tourism. This necessitates a robust and transparent legal framework that protects investor rights while also ensuring sustainable development and compliance with local regulations. Key considerations include intellectual property protection, streamlined permitting processes, and clear guidelines regarding land ownership and environmental impact. A stable legal environment is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and driving long-term economic growth.
