Costa Rica is strategically positioning itself to cope with global economic uncertainties by focusing on renewable energy and diversifying its trade relationships. Minister of Foreign Trade Manuel Tovar Rivera emphasized that the country generates 98% of its electricity from renewable sources, which not only ensures energy security but also attracts foreign investment in sustainable sectors. Despite being insulated from immediate energy shocks due to its fuel sourcing from the US and Mexico, Costa Rica remains cautious about potential economic fallout from global events, particularly the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The country is actively engaging with the Asia-Pacific region, its fastest-growing export market, and is close to joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which aims to lower tariffs among member nations. Tovar Rivera highlighted that diversification across markets and industries is essential for resilience against future trade disruptions, a lesson underscored by past events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
