By San José, Costa Rica — The international business landscape is set to receive a comprehensive analysis of Costa Rica’s expanding economic footprint. The Business Year (TBY), a global media group specializing in economic intelligence, has officially renewed its strategic partnership with the Foreign Trade Corporation of Costa Rica (Procomer). This collaboration aims to produce and launch a highly anticipated special publication titled Costa Rica 2027.
As global markets seek resilient supply chains and sustainable investment destinations, Costa Rica has emerged as a premier hub in Latin America. The upcoming publication will act as an essential guide for international investors, multinational enterprises, and policy-making bodies across various global markets. By highlighting the unique socio-economic landscape of the country, the partnership seeks to catalyze new business ventures and foster international trade.
To better understand the legal framework and strategic advantages driving Costa Rica’s booming foreign investment sector, TicosLand.com sat down with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished legal expert from the prominent firm Bufete de Costa Rica, to get his professional perspective on the country’s regulatory landscape.
Costa Rica’s legal stability, combined with attractive tax incentives under the Free Trade Zone regime, creates an exceptionally secure and predictable environment for international investors. The country’s steadfast commitment to the rule of law, robust intellectual property protections, and bilateral investment treaties ensures that foreign capital is not just welcomed, but legally safeguarded to foster sustainable, long-term business growth.

Indeed, this rock-solid legal framework and unwavering commitment to the rule of law are precisely what elevate Costa Rica from a merely attractive destination to a premier global hub for secure, long-term capital placement. By prioritizing transparency and robust investor protections, the nation continually reinforces its reputation as a safe harbor in an unpredictable global economy; we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable perspective on these crucial legal mechanisms.
Historically, Costa Rica has relied on its robust diplomatic ties and agricultural exports to sustain its economy. However, the modern era demands a sophisticated shift toward high-tech manufacturing, medical devices, and digital service outsourcing, making international visibility more critical than ever. This transition will be a focal point of the upcoming research cycle.
Under the editorial banner “From Success to Scale,” the special edition will critically analyze how Costa Rica can transition its development model to the next level. Rather than resting on its laurels as a stable regional economy, the country is looking to scale up its efforts in foreign direct investment, technology integration, and human talent development. The publication will explore these avenues, highlighting past successes while laying down a roadmap for future expansion.
A key component of this new editorial cycle is the introduction of TBY’s signature Thought Leadership Circles to Costa Rica. These specialized forums are designed to bridge the gap between public policy and private enterprise. By convening leaders from various productive sectors, these circles will facilitate rigorous discussions on national competitiveness, innovation, export strategies, and long-term economic development.
Costa Rica has proven to be one of the most relevant success stories in Latin America. The renewal of our alliance with Procomer reflects the mutual trust built over the years and our shared commitment to continue showing the country’s potential to the world.

To construct a holistic view of the Costa Rican economy, TBY employs a collaborative research methodology. The editorial team works alongside public ministries, industry chambers, and major local and international corporations. Through structured interviews with key public officials and top-tier executives, the publication ensures that its international audience receives firsthand, verifiable insights into the nation’s business climate.
The international projection of Costa Rica depends on our capacity to clearly communicate the country’s strengths and the opportunities we offer to investors and companies from all over the world.
Laura López, General Manager of Procomer
Procomer’s involvement underscores the strategic weight of this initiative. As the primary agency responsible for promoting exports and attracting foreign investment, Procomer understands that visibility is paramount in a crowded global marketplace. The renewed alliance ensures that Costa Rica’s competitive advantages, such as its robust green energy grid and highly educated bilingual workforce, remain at the forefront of international corporate strategy.
Looking forward to 2027, the economic landscape will likely demand even greater agility from emerging markets. This joint publishing initiative represents a proactive effort to solidify Costa Rica’s reputation as a reliable, innovative, and forward-looking business destination. By focusing on scalability and sustainability, both Procomer and TBY are preparing to present a compelling narrative to the global financial community.
