AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Costa Rica Media & Film: The Costa Rica Media Market’s Desde el Centro (July 14-15 in San José) spotlights new projects from an emerging local film scene, including Ana Istarú’s hybrid documentary “Quemada” and Natalia Solórzano Vásquez’s “Spells to Revive a Witch,” as Puerto Rico’s Film Festival names Costa Rica its official country in focus for Aug. 19–23. Dollar Shock: The cheap dollar is hitting the government too, with Finance Ministry figures pointing to major losses in income tax and VAT, even as the exchange rate stays near record lows. Public Safety & Courts: A growing “crime war” push is colliding with the judiciary, raising fears that urgency could weaken institutions needed to dismantle cocaine networks. Health Watch: Costa Rica confirmed two new monkeypox (mpox) cases in San José and activated surveillance and contact tracing, stressing low risk to the wider public. Transport & Compliance: Vehicle inspection failures remain high, with 36.23% of cars failing on the first technical check in 2025. Environment & Trade: A court request seeks to suspend thresher shark exports after stronger international protections took effect late June. Tourism & Economy: El Lugar Costa Rica earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award, while Cup of Excellence coffee results set fresh highs, including a $200.10-per-pound winning lot.
