AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Caribbean Flood Crisis: A tropical wave slammed Costa Rica’s Limón overnight, sending rivers over their banks, triggering flash flooding, evacuations, and road closures across multiple cantons as IMN reported heavy rain totals up to 65mm in hard-hit areas. Sports & Culture: Joel Campbell’s Alajuelense exit puts his next move in the spotlight, while Costa Rica’s Teatro Nacional gets a new ₡25 collectible coin release from the Central Bank. Justice & Public Safety: The OIJ carried out the Lusso operation, detaining eight and seizing luxury assets tied to alleged money laundering linked to narcotics trafficking. Tourism & Travel: Lufthansa is adding more direct Frankfurt–San José flights for the 2026–27 winter season, and Costa Rica’s tourism keeps climbing with a record high-season rebound. Politics & Trade: President Laura Fernández escalated the Panama dispute, calling it a “trade blockade” and pushing for international action as tariff pressure from Washington remains unresolved.
