AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

UN Leadership Watch: Costa Rica’s Rebeca Grynspan is reported as the frontrunner to become the UN’s first woman Secretary-General, with a preliminary Security Council ballot giving her a strong start ahead of a December election. Drug Enforcement: Costa Rica extradited “Macho Coca” Gilbert Bell Fernández and “Compadre” Gabriel Lozano Bonilla to the U.S., with prosecutors alleging major cocaine trafficking through Costa Rica tied to the Gulf Clan. Healthcare Reform: The Ministry of Health changed waiting-list rules so priority now depends on clinical risk and severity—not just how long someone has waited—using five categories from immediate to elective care. Economy & Industry: Costa Rican manufacturers are pausing investments and cutting staff as the colón strengthens, with the exchange rate named the top threat to competitiveness. Environment: Corcovado National Park was placed on “red alert” over sewage discharges, failing infrastructure, and chronic underfunding. Sports & Tourism: The World Surf League returns to Playa Hermosa for the Garabito Surf City Pro, boosting Central Pacific tourism. Culture & Film: Former Costa Rican film commissioner Marysela Zamora joins Iberofic leadership to push women in audiovisual media and more Spanish-language content. Business & Dining: Fogo de Chão opened its first Costa Rica restaurant at the Sheraton in Escazú.
