Abstract
Rasgos generales de la evolución reciente En 2007 el producto interno bruto (PIB) real de Costa Rica aumentó 6,8%, en comparación con 8,8% en 2006. Si bien se trata de una desaceleración importante, el crecimiento siguió siendo robusto y superior a la tasa promedio de la presente década. El incremento del PIB se explica principalmente por la expansión de la inversión bruta fija y las exportaciones. El PIB por habitante se elevó 5%, continuando con un dinamismo positivo por sexto año consecutivo. La inflación mostró un repunte en 2007 y cerró el año en 10,8% (9,4% en 2006). El balance del sector público presentó un resultado positivo por primera vez en las últimas tres décadas, mientras que la tasa de desempleo se redujo para ubicarse en el menor nivel de la década actual. El déficit de la cuenta corriente de la balanza de pagos fue equivalente a 5,7% del PIB, un punto porcentual superior al del año anterior. Costa Rica: Economic evolution during 2007 and perspectives for 2008 Abstract: General features of the recent evolution In 2007, the real gross domestic product (GDP) of Costa Rica grew by 6,8%, compared to 8,8% in 2006. Despite the fact that the country experienced a substantial downturn, the growth rate remained robust and superior to the average rate of the present decade. The GDP increase was mainly attributed to the increase of fixed gross investment and exports. The GDP per inhabitant grew 5%, extending the dynamism observed over the last six years. Inflation experienced an upturn in 2007, reaching 10,8% by the end of the year (compared to 9,4% in 2006). The public sector balance presented positive results for the first time in the last three decades, while the rate of unemployment was reduced to the lowest level experienced in the current decade. The current account deficit equalled 5,7% of GDP, a percentage point higher than the previous year.
