AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoTrade Clash: Costa Rica’s new president Laura Fernández has escalated her fight with Panama over a long-running dairy and meat blockade, ordering Foreign Minister Manuel Tovar to pursue “international actions” to reopen the Panamanian market—after Panama kept restrictions on beef, pork, poultry, dairy and fruits like strawberries, pineapples, plantains and bananas. The dispute dates back to 2019–2020 and follows a WTO ruling that sided with Costa Rica, saying Panama’s limits weren’t grounded in science. Household Pressure: Even with GDP growth, household incomes are losing momentum, with real income growth slowing and men’s income falling while women’s growth also cools. Scam Alert: Transito/Cosevi phishing texts are tricking people into clicking fake ticket links—official sites end in .go.cr. Global Ties: Global Sae-A Group’s chairman attended Fernández’s inauguration, signaling continued business links.
