AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Public Opinion & Security: Costa Rica’s new President Laura Fernández hits her first 100 days with about 64% approval, but many voters still think Rodrigo Chaves is “still calling the shots,” while a separate report highlights how unusually heavy security details are being used at Casa Presidencial. Road Safety: MOPT data shows 425 traffic deaths through August, with motorcyclists making up 58% of victims. Immigration & Travel: A surge in Costa Ricans seeking asylum abroad continues, with the U.S. receiving about 74% of 2025 applications, and Canada is also drawing thousands of Costa Rican travelers amid shifting migration patterns. Environment & Wildlife: Two people were detained at Ostional with 125 olive ridley sea turtle eggs during the arribada season. Economy & Costs: Inflation ended August at -0.11%, and coastal residents report steep price hikes, with 85% saying property prices rose. Tech & Border Control: Juan Santamaría Airport began using biometric eGates, and Costa Rica expanded its 13% VAT list for foreign digital services (including Booking.com, Expedia, and ChatGPT). Crime & Courts: The Supreme Court will review judge rules for preventive detention and restrictions after judicial corruption cases. Defense Debate: Fernández says U.S. ground operations could help security, but stresses no plans are in place and any deployment would need legislative approval.
